Ontario's recent HST reductions and lowered municipal development charges aim to boost homebuyer confidence and affordability. The Ontario HST Rebate 2026 offers up to $130,000 savings on new homes valued up to $1.5 million, supporting primary residences and rentals. Combined with government infrastructure funds, these measures are expected to stimulate new home sales, increase housing starts, and strengthen the economy amid stable interest rates and inflation near target levels.
