No Market Comeback Yet — But a Tax Change That Impacts Buyers

In today's live, we unpack why the market is still slower than the headlines suggest and what the HST rebate means for buyers right now. We dig into the HST rebate on new homes and what it actually means for buyers, how it's structured, who's likely to benefit, and why the impact on pricing isn't as straightforward as it sounds. We also look at what it signals for new construction and some key risks buyers should keep in mind before making a move. Despite the headlines, the market fundamentals remain weak, with sales still running well below normal levels across both houses and condos. Inventory remains elevated compared to historical norms, and prices have continued to ease from recent peaks.
