The federal First-Time Home Buyers’ GST Rebate is officially law (as of March 2026), and if you’re buying or building new, you need to know about this. 👇
Eligible first-time buyers of newly built homes can receive a rebate of the full 5% GST on homes priced up to $1,000,000 — that’s up to $50,000 back in your pocket.
Buying between $1M–$1.5M? You’ll still get a partial rebate. Over $1.5M? Unfortunately, no rebate applies.
To qualify, you must:
✔️Have not lived in a home that you or your spouse/common-law partner owned as your primary residence at any time in the current or previous four calendar years.
✔️Be purchasing a newly built home, building on land you own, or buying into a housing co-op
Qualifying property types include detached homes, townhomes, duplexes, condos, and co-op units — as long as they’re new and unoccupied at the time of sale.
For the average new home in Manitoba, this rebate can make a huge difference in closing costs and upfront expenses.😀
