'The program is working': Ontario home sales surge 130% after HST rebate
Ontario’s new HST rebate program has really made an impact—new home sales soared by 130% in Q2 2026, with numbers rising from 3,645 to 8,410. Much of this growth is in single-family homes. The rebate offers up to $130,000 for properties under $1.5 million, but keep in mind, this program wraps up in March 2027. For buyers and sellers, this surge is more than just numbers; it’s a sign that the right incentives can make your next move easier and more profitable.
