A Major Opportunity for First-Time Home Buyers: Save Thousands on a New Tamarack Home
Buying your first home is a big milestone—and upcoming federal changes could make it more affordable than ever.
The federal government has proposed a First-Time Home Buyer (FTHB) Rebate Program designed to reduce the amount of GST/HST paid on new construction homes. If approved, this program could significantly lower upfront costs and make homeownership more attainable for first-time buyers entering the market.
