First-Time Homebuyers, Your Moment Is Here: Save Up to $50,000 on Your New Home!

May 29, 2025

"Owning your first home isn’t just a dream. It’s your future. We’re here to help you unlock it."

Imagine standing in the living room of your brand-new home, keys in hand, future ahead, and a massive weight lifted off your shoulders. That moment just got a whole lot closer and more affordable for thousands of Canadians, thanks to a bold new policy from the federal government.

The First-Time Home Buyer (FTHB) GST Rebateannounced on May 27, 2025is a game-changing opportunity that every aspiring homeowner should understand and act upon.

🧭 At A.B.R.E., led by Ali BolourchiBroker/Coach/Team Leader, we believe in empowering first-time buyers with clarity, strategy, and confidence. Ali's decades of experience across Residential, Commercial, and Investment real estate, backed by elite designations like ABR®, PSA, means you’re not just working with a Realtor®, you’re building with a coach and advocate.

What’s in the New Rebate?

This isn’t your typical incentive, it’s a federal investment in your first home. Here’s what makes the First-Time Home Buyer GST Rebate exceptional:

💸 The Benefits:

  • 100% GST rebate (up to $50,000) on homes priced at $1M or less

  • Phased rebate between $1M, $1.5M

  • Zero rebate above $1.5M

📋 Eligibility Criteria:

  • First-time homebuyer (no ownership in last 5 years)

  • Must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident

  • Age 18 or older

  • The home must be a primary residence (not investment)

📅 Timing:

  • Applies to purchase agreements signed on or after May 27, 2025

  • Construction must begin before 2031 and complete by 2036


📊 Why This Matters

For too long, new homes priced between $450,000 and $1.5 million have fallen into a rebate "blind spot." The existing GST/HST rebate only applied up to $450,000, leaving many out in the cold.

Now, with homes in Toronto, Vaughan, Markham, and Mississauga routinely priced near the $1M mark, this policy unlocks real value where buyers need it most.


🧠 Let’s Get Strategic

The Millionaire Real Estate Agent model teaches us to lead with valueand this rebate is exactly that. Here’s how we’re leveraging it to empower our clients:

  1. Education First: We simplify what’s complicated, eligibility, timelines, and rebate stacking.

  2. Smart Selection: Our team identifies pre-construction opportunities in the GTA and surrounding areas that maximize rebate potential.

  3. Tailored Guidance: You get a strategy, not just a list of properties.

And yes, the new FTHB rebate can be stacked with the existing GST/HST rebate, as long as the total rebate doesn’t exceed the GST paid.


🔑 Turn This Policy into Your Reality

Whether you're exploring condos in Toronto, Richmopnd Hill, Vaughantownhomes in Markhamor pre-constructions in Kitchener-Waterlooour team is ready to align your purchase with this rebate to save you up to $50,000.

This is more than news. It’s a call to actionand your path to homeownership has never been more clear.
