New GST Incentives for first time home buyers 

On May 27, 2025, the Government of Canada introduced a new GST rebate that could put up to $50,000 in tax relief on the purchase of a newly built home, and it’s available for agreements signed on or after May 27, 2025. 

If you're planning to make a move, this incentive may significantly reduce your upfront costs and expand your options in today’s market.  

Key highlights of the First-Time Home Buyers’ GST Rebate: 

  • Full GST rebate for homes priced up to $1 million 

  • Partial rebate for homes between $1 million and $1.5 million 

  • Applies to new builds, owner-built homes, and co-op units 

  • Available to Canadian citizens or permanent residents who haven’t owned or lived in a home owned by their spouse/common-law partner in the past four years 

This is a significant update, especially in markets where new home prices often exceed the previous rebate threshold of $450,000.  

Curious whether you qualify or what homes might be eligible? 

I’d be happy to walk you through the criteria, show you qualifying properties, and help you take full advantage of this new opportunity. 

 Please reach out today. I look forward to assisting you.

Ottawa Real Estate market Holds Steady Amid Changing Conditions

The number of homes sold through the MLS® System of the Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB) totaled 809 units in February 2025. This represented a 10.2%decline from February 2024.

Home sales were 19.1% below the five-year average and 15.4% below the 10-year average for the month of February.

"Ottawa's sales activity moderated while prices held steady," says OREB's President. "Despite increased inventory, market uncertainty continues to influence buyer and seller decisions. Some sellers who had previously delayed listing are now entering the market, contributing to more options for buyers. While demand remains strong in certain price segments, the pace of sales varies, making strategic pricing and preparation key for sellers."

"The Bank of Canada's influence on borrowing power, ongoing economic factors like tariffs, and the potential impact of upcoming elections are also shaping buyer and seller sentiment," adds OREB's President. "As we approach the spring market, we anticipate increased buyer activity, particularly if interest rates trend downward and confidence continues to build."

The benchmark price for single-family homes was $719,800, up 1.3% year-over-year uptick in February. By comparison, the benchmark price for a townhouse/row unit was $438,000,a decline of 11.6% from 2024. The benchmark apartment price was $459,300, a 4.5%gain from the previous year. The average price of homes sold in February 2025 was $669,945, a 1.4% improvement from February 2024.

Prepare for Impact with confidence; The Canadian Real Estate Market will continue to thrive longterm

This morning, I attended a call with Shaun Cathcart, Senior Economist and Director of Housing Data and Market Analysis at CREA, who provided an insightful update and analysis on the current housing market. Mr. Cathcart addressed potential market impacts stemming from the newly implemented tariffs, in a thorough Q&A session. 

We are currently navigating a period of heightened uncertainty, influenced by a complex interplay of economic factors. Potential scenarios include recessionary periods with varying levels of inflationary pressure, with the most concerning being a recession coupled with high inflation. In the coming months we will have a better understanding of which scenario will take hold and thus how it will impact the real estate market in the short term. But as of now, the February stats which will be released by CREA within a week show a deceleration in the Canadian real estate market. 

Despite this deceleration, it is important to maintain perspective and recognize the resilience of the Canadian real estate market. Historically, the sector has successfully adapted to numerous challenges, including: 

  • 1997: Introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) 

  • 2003: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak 

  • 2007-2008: Global Financial Crisis 

  • 2008: Implementation of the Land Transfer Tax 

  • 2011: Competition Bureau scrutiny 

  • 2020: COVID-19 pandemic 

  • 2023: Introduction of the Foreign Buyer Ban 

  • 2024: Implementation of the Luxury Land Transfer Tax 

  • 2025: Extension of the Foreign Buyer Ban 

  • 2025: Introduction of tariffs 

Despite these events, the Canadian real estate market has demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory. While growth rates may fluctuate, the overall trend remains positive. 

In this dynamic environment, a prudent approach involves maintaining vigilance, practicing informed decision-making, and remaining receptive to emerging opportunities. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any inquiries. Now more than ever it is imperative that you seek the guidance of a professional and have representation so you can protect yourself and make an informed decision.

State of the Ottawa Real estate Market

The Ottawa real estate market in early 2025 presented a mixed picture, characterized by rising prices despite a slight dip in sales activity compared to the previous year. According to the Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB, 2025), the average home price in January reached $670,258, a notable 5.8% increase from January 2024. This suggests continued price appreciation in the Ottawa market, even with some cooling in sales volume.

While sales figures were slightly below those of January 2024, a significant influx of new listings—1,359—marked a 14% increase over the five-year average. This surge in inventory provides buyers with more choices, a welcome development in a market that has often favored sellers. However, this increased inventory also intensifies competition among sellers, highlighting the importance of strategic pricing and presentation.

Several factors are contributing to these market dynamics. The increased number of listings suggests more sellers are entering the market, potentially anticipating future changes or seeking to capitalize on current price levels. Anticipation of lower interest rates in the future is likely fueling buyer demand. Even though rates appear as though they will continue on a downward trend, the expectation of future decreases can motivate buyers to enter the market now. This anticipation, combined with the increased inventory, creates a complex dynamic. In addition, economic and political factors can influence buyer and seller behavior, adding another layer of complexity to the Ottawa market.

For sellers, the current market presents both opportunities and challenges. The rising prices are clearly advantageous. However, the increased competition from a larger pool of listings necessitates a careful approach to pricing. Overpriced properties risk languishing on the market, while strategically priced homes are more likely to attract buyers in this environment. The emphasis on "well-priced and presented" homes underscores the importance of not just competitive pricing but also staging and marketing efforts. Sellers who fail to adapt to this more competitive landscape may face lower offers or longer selling times.

In summary, the Ottawa real estate market in early 2025 can be characterized as a market in transition. While prices continue to climb, increased inventory and anticipated interest rate adjustments are creating a more balanced market compared to previous periods. Sellers need to be particularly mindful of pricing and presentation to succeed in this environment. The long-term impact of the economic and political uncertainties remains to be seen and will likely continue to influence market trends in the coming months.

Buyer’s and Seller’s, this is an opportune time to make a move. Reach out with any questions. I’m here to assist and look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals.
