'The program is working': Ontario home sales surge 130% after HST rebate
Ontario’s new home sales have just surged by 130% in Q2 2026, jumping from 3,645 to 8,410. The big reason? A 13% HST rebate on new homes. This program is making a real difference, especially for single-family homes. Right now, buyers can get up to $130,000 back on homes under $1.5 million, but this rebate ends in March 2027.

Having spent more than a decade helping families buy and sell in the GTA, I’ve seen how much every dollar counts when you’re making a move. Programs like this aren’t just numbers—they can change what’s possible for many families ready to take the next step. If you’re considering a new build, it’s worth knowing how these incentives work and how they might fit into your plans. Cutting through the noise so you can make informed decisions has always been my priority.

Signs of optimism for new housing
There’s no sugarcoating it: new home construction in Ontario is projected to fall sharply—from 75,000 units in 2022 down to just 25,000 by 2025, the lowest we’ve seen in three decades. For families and buyers, this can feel overwhelming. But even in this tough market, there’s still reason to feel hopeful: consumer support has climbed to $40 million, and deposit protection now goes up to $100,000. After ten years helping clients navigate these ups and downs, I know how important it is to focus on the facts—and not lose sight of the safeguards in place for buyers. When it comes to making the right move, a clear-eyed approach makes all the difference.
