Is HST already included in the advertised Windrose price?

For eligible owner-occupiers, new-home prices are typically shown with the HST rebate reflected. Confirm this on the current pricelist — investors paying the HST separately should ask about the pre-rebate price.

How much is the HST rebate?

The rebate amount depends on the purchase price and eligibility. Your lawyer or accountant can calculate it for your specific home.

Do I qualify if I'm buying to rent?

The New Residential Rental Property (NRRP) rebate applies for investment purchases and requires qualifying long-term tenancy. Get professional advice before assuming an amount.

Do builder incentives always apply?

Incentives vary by release and can change. Register to see the current package for the active phase.

Are these incentives negotiable?

Pre-construction incentive packages are generally set at the community level rather than negotiated per unit, but the mix changes over time.

HST Rebate & Incentives on New Caledon Homes

Pricing & Value · ~6 min read · Updated 2026

New homes in Ontario are subject to HST, and eligible buyers can recover a meaningful portion of it through the new-home HST rebate. On top of that, builders often layer their own incentives — capped upgrades, deposit structures, or promotional credits — that vary by release. Understanding how these stack helps you compare the true cost of a home at Windrose to another new-build in the area.

The HST rebate, in plain terms

Ontario applies HST to new-home purchases. The federal and provincial governments offer rebates that return a portion of the HST paid, provided the buyer meets eligibility rules. For owner-occupiers moving into the home as a primary residence, the rebate is typically assigned to the builder at closing and reflected in the purchase price — you don't usually pay it and claim it back yourself.

Owner-occupier vs investor

If the home is purchased as a rental investment, the New Residential Rental Property (NRRP) Rebate applies instead. Investors typically pay the HST at closing and claim the NRRP rebate after leasing the home to a qualifying tenant. Your lawyer and accountant will walk you through the mechanics for your situation.

How rebates and builder incentives can stack

Type	How it works	Notes
HST rebate (owner-occupier)	Assigned to builder, reflected in price	Purchase price is HST-included for eligible buyers
NRRP rebate (investor)	Paid at closing, claimed after leasing	Requires qualifying tenancy
Builder incentives	Capped upgrades, credits, deposit terms	Vary by phase — confirm at registration

The dollar impact of incentives changes with each release, so specific figures aren't published here — the sales team will confirm the current programs when the pricelist is sent.

What to ask when you register

First-time buyers and rebates

First-time buyers may qualify for additional programs like the Ontario Land Transfer Tax refund. These are separate from the HST rebate and can materially reduce closing costs. Talk to your lawyer to confirm eligibility for your purchase.
