First Time Homeowners Finally Get A Break

New Federal GST Rebate is a Game Changer for First-Time Home Buyers

KINGSTON, Ontario, June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First-time homebuyers eyeing a new construction home from Brookland Fine Homes just got a major financial boost. The federal government’s newly introduced First-Time Home Buyer GST Rebate (FTHB GST Rebate) officially takes effect May 27, 2025, offering up to $50,000 in GST savings on new homes priced at or under $1 million.

This long-anticipated measure is designed to improve housing affordability and stimulate new home construction — and it’s a direct win for buyers of Brookland homes in communities like Amherstview, Odessa, Kingston, and Brockville.

“The GST rebate levels the playing field for first-time buyers and aligns perfectly with our mission of building quality, affordable homes in vibrant communities,” said a spokesperson for Brookland Fine Homes. “We’ve always been committed to helping people achieve homeownership, and this makes that goal even more attainable.”

Key Highlights of the Rebate:

100% GST rebate on new homes up to $1 million
Phased rebate on homes between $1 million and $1.5 million
Applies only to first-time homebuyers intending to live in the home as their primary residence
Available for purchase agreements signed between May 27, 2025 and 2031, with construction completed before 2036
If you have not owned a home since 2020, you qualify as a first time home buyer.

Brookland Fine Homes, already recognized for delivering energy-efficient, family-friendly homes, expects this rebate to accelerate demand across its active communities. Many of its homes also offer legal secondary suites and walkout basements — ideal for multigenerational living or rental income — further enhancing affordability.

“This policy not only benefits buyers but also supports the housing market and local economies,” added the spokesperson. “We’re ready to help first-time buyers take full advantage of this opportunity.”
