"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 Rebate, announced on May 27, 2025, is a game-changing opportunity that every aspiring homeowner should understand and act upon.
🧭 At A.B.R.E., led by Ali Bolourchi, Broker/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 value, and this rebate is exactly that. Here’s how we’re leveraging it to empower our clients:
Education First: We simplify what’s complicated—eligibility, timelines, and rebate stacking.
Smart Selection: Our team identifies pre-construction opportunities in the GTA and surrounding areas that maximize rebate potential.
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.
