The GTA’s low-rise new home market has seen a real lift in demand lately, thanks in part to the HST rebate program. For many buyers in areas like Brampton and Caledon—where I’ve helped families navigate these shifts for over 17 years—the increased interest has led builders to release more low-rise options, keeping things balanced and helping prevent sharp price spikes. While condos haven’t experienced the same benefit due to rules around construction timelines, the rebate offers real savings for qualified buyers and has made homeownership in our communities more accessible. Industry leaders see measures like these as a boost for the region’s economy and job security, and there’s hope future policies will help the condo sector participate more fully. As always, understanding how these changes impact your choices is key—I’m here to help you make smart, informed decisions in any market.
