The Ontario government has introduced a new housing rebate that could significantly reduce the cost of buying a new home.

By removing the full 13% HST on eligible homes under $1 million, and offering scaled rebates up to $1.85 million, buyers could save as much as $130,000

This initiative is expected to:
• Increase affordability
• Stimulate construction
• Drive new housing supply
• Create short-term opportunities for buyers

However, this is a time-sensitive program running from April 2026 to March 2027

For buyers, the key is not just awareness — but strategy.

Understanding how this applies to your situation could mean the difference between taking advantage of this opportunity… or missing it entirely.
