In the second quarter, sales of new homes jumped 130%\u2014a rare surge, and one that\u2019s caught the attention of buyers and builders alike. The main driver? A federal HST rebate that\u2019s dropped prices by as much as $130,000, making homeownership a more real possibility for many families. This isn\u2019t just about numbers; it\u2019s also meant nearly 17,000 construction jobs were saved, mostly tied to single-family and detached homes\u2014the 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\u2019re thinking about your next move or planning for the future, it\u2019s worth keeping on your radar. My approach has always been about honest advice and making the process feel a little less overwhelming\u2014because the right home is never just about bricks and mortar, but about what matters most to you and your family.<\/p>\n<p>\t<a class=\"roomvu-news-continue\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/london\/kitchener\/article\/new-home-sales-in-ontario-surge-in-second-quarter-industry-says\/\"><\/p>\n<div>Continue to full article<\/div>\n<p>\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been quite a season for Ontario\u2019s new home market.
