There’s been a noticeable boost in demand for low-rise new homes across the GTA, thanks in part to the recent HST rebate program. I’ve seen firsthand how this has sparked interest among buyers looking for townhomes, semis, and detached options—especially those hoping to make a move in Ajax and the Durham Region. Builders have kept pace by steadily releasing new low-rise properties, which has helped keep the market balanced and avoid sudden price jumps.
While condos haven’t benefited as much—due to construction start and completion requirements—qualifying buyers for low-rise homes have gained extra savings, making homeownership a bit more accessible. I believe programs like these do more than help individual buyers; they also support local jobs and strengthen the region’s economic outlook. As always, my goal is to offer honest advice and market insights tailored to your needs, whether you’re buying your first home or planning your next move.
