Big news for Ottawa home buyers that I think is flying under the radar right now. 🏡
Back in March, the Ontario government announced a rebate of the full HST amount on new homes up to $1 million — up to $130,000 back in your pocket. What makes this different? It's not just for first-time buyers. If you're purchasing a new build as your primary residence or a rental property, you could qualify. The agreement of purchase and sale just needs to be signed between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027.
The details really matter here, and there are still some pieces waiting on federal legislation to be fully locked in. Before you sign anything, let's make sure you have the right information for your specific situation.
