HST Rebate Myths & Failed Condo Deal Insights

Join us for a practical and informative session designed for home buyers, investors, and realtors who want clear answers on how HST rebates actually work on new homes—and what happens when deals don’t go as planned.

Many buyers assume they will receive the full rebate—but that’s not always the case. Misunderstanding rebate structures, builder pricing, and contractual obligations can lead to confusion, financial loss, or even failed transactions.

In this session, we break down real-world scenarios, including insights from a recent failed condo purchase judgment, to help you understand risks, avoid costly mistakes, and make informed decisions with confidence.

• Who actually receives the HST rebate — buyer or builder
• Why the rebate isn’t always the full 13%
• Net vs gross pricing and how builders structure deals
• When (and if) you receive the rebate
• How rebates impact mortgage qualification
• Key legal risks highlighted in a recent failed condo purchase case
• Common mistakes that lead to deal failures, disputes, or delays
• Key trends affecting 2025–2026 transactions

• First-time home buyers
• Investors / second property buyers
