Ontario's new-home HST rebate is one of the biggest housing incentives we've seen โ and the window is closing.
If you sign an agreement with a builder before March 31, 2027, you could get back up to $130,000 in HST on a newly built home.
What most people don't realize:
โ
It's not just for first-time buyers โ repeat buyers and investors qualify too
โ
Pre-construction condos, towns, semis and detached all count
โ
It's already law, retroactive to April 1, 2026
The date that matters is when your agreement is signed, not when you close. If a new build is anywhere in your plans, that's worth knowing now rather than in February.

Happy Labour Day from Team Done Mortgage ๐จ๐ฆ
Today is about the people who put in the work โ the tradespeople, the shift workers, the small business owners, the folks doing two jobs to get to that first down payment. The homes we help finance don't exist without you.
Wishing you and your family a safe, restful long weekend.

Tariffs don't move mortgage rates in one direction. They pull both ways at once.
The U.S. put 50% tariffs on roughly $20B of Canadian goods on Aug 22. Canada's counter-tariffs of 15โ50% on 700+ American products land Sept 8. Here's why that matters for your mortgage:
โ Pushing rates up: tariffs raise import prices and keep inflation elevated, a weaker loonie adds to the pressure, and building costs climb.
โ Pulling rates down: slower exports, investment and hiring cool the economy, recession worry can push bond yields lower, and the Bank of Canada may respond with cuts.
Fixed rates follow bond yields. Variable rates follow the Bank of Canada. Which one suits you depends on your cash flow and your comfort with change โ not on this week's headlines.
If you're buying or renewing in the next four months, a rate hold protects you for up to 120 days while the picture sorts itself out.
Let's look at your numbers before the market decides for you.

Buyer activity is picking up across Canada. ๐ก
Home sales increased 5.5% month over month in May, while overall activity remains below stronger historical levels.
That means buyers may still have time to prepare before competition increases.
โ Understand your budget
โ Organize your documents
โ Get pre-approved before making an offer
Be ready before the market gets busier.

Fixed or variable?
Donโt choose your mortgage based on headlines alone.
Forecasts can change, rate expectations can shift, and what works best depends on your cash flow, comfort level, and long-term goals.
A fixed rate may offer:
โ Predictable payments
โ Easier budgeting
A variable rate may offer:
โ Potential savings
โ More flexibility depending on the market
The right option isnโt the same for everyone.
Compare both options based on your numbers.

Mortgage renewal is getting closer โ and your payment may still change.
If youโre coming off a 5-year term in 2026, donโt assume your lenderโs first offer is your best option.
Before you renew, take time to:
compare rates, terms, and payment flexibility
review your current mortgage strategy
understand what your new payment could look like
A little planning now can make a big difference later.
