It’s been quite a season for Ontario’s new home market. In the second quarter, sales of new homes jumped 130%—a rare surge, and one that’s caught the attention of buyers and builders alike. The main driver? A federal HST rebate that’s dropped prices by as much as $130,000, making homeownership a more real possibility for many families. This isn’t just about numbers; it’s also meant nearly 17,000 construction jobs were saved, mostly tied to single-family and detached homes—the kinds of places where many of you hope to plant roots and build memories. Important to note: this rebate is set to expire in March 2027. If you’re thinking about your next move or planning for the future, it’s worth keeping on your radar. My approach has always been about honest advice and making the process feel a little less overwhelming—because the right home is never just about bricks and mortar, but about what matters most to you and your family.
