Ontario new home sales jump 130 percent after enhanced HST rebate, but condo market still lags

It’s been a remarkable quarter for Ontario’s new home market—sales soared by 130% in Q2, reaching 8,410 units. This surge was largely fueled by the enhanced HST rebate, especially in the low-rise segment. While condo sales did see a modest 12% increase, they’re still well below typical levels, held back by ongoing challenges like high fees, construction delays, and strict zoning. As someone who’s spent years guiding clients through Windsor’s ever-changing market, I know how much these shifts matter when you’re searching for the right place to call home. My focus remains on offering the clarity and honest advice you need to navigate these opportunities with confidence.
