Single-family home activity surged\u2014692 units sold, which is 47% above the 10-year average. Yet, the overall benchmark price dropped by 14.6% year-over-year, a reminder that price trends and market activity don\u2019t always move together. Condos, on the other hand, saw sales slide to 78% below average, much of it due to the limits on tax incentives like the Ontario HST rebate. That rebate continues to play a key role in making new homes more accessible, especially when every dollar counts. After 22 years helping folks find the right fit\u2014whether it\u2019s a first home, investment, or a step up\u2014I\u2019ve seen how these incentives can shape real decisions for families and investors alike. The numbers tell part of the story, but it\u2019s always about finding what works for you. Built on Trust.
