Ontario’s new-home market saw impressive momentum in Q2 2026, with sales jumping 130% to reach 8,410 units. This surge is tied closely to the enhanced HST rebate program—a policy shift that’s not only encouraging buyers, but also fueling growth across our industry. The impact is substantial: 17,300 construction jobs supported, $2.8 billion added to GDP, and $1.4 billion in government revenues. Having spent over two decades immersed in Ontario’s construction and development landscape, I’ve seen how the right incentives can transform communities and create long-term value. For those considering new development or seeking to invest in quality assets, this is a clear example of how thoughtful policy and sound management can help properties thrive for generations.
