A New Opportunity for New Homebuyers
Buying a new home just became more attainable.
The Government of Ontario, in partnership with the federal government, has introduced a new temporary HST rebate designed to help reduce the overall cost of purchasing a newly built home. This initiative aims to make homeownership more accessible by reducing one of the largest upfront costs buyers face.
What Is the New Home HST Rebate?
For a limited time, eligible buyers of new homes may receive a rebate on the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), reducing the total purchase price.
1. Up to 13% of the HST may be rebated on qualifying new homes.
2. The maximum rebate is up to $130,000
3. The full rebate applies to homes valued up to $1.5 million. Homes priced between $1.5 million and $1.8 million still qualify for a reduced rebate amount.
This applies to newly built homes, including pre-construction and move-in-ready inventory, depending on eligibility.
Who Does It Apply To?
This rebate applies to all new homebuyers.
When Does It Take Effect?
The enhanced rebate is available for a limited time, applying to eligible purchases made between: April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027
Why This Matters
This rebate can significantly reduce the upfront cost of buying a new home, creating an opportunity for buyers to enter the market sooner or upgrade to a home that better fits their needs.
For many, it represents meaningful savings on one of the most important financial decisions they will make.
