As a real estate agent with nearly two decades of experience in Markham and the broader GTA, I\u2019ve observed how this shift is energizing buyers who have been looking for more affordable entry points into new homeownership. Builders have responded by steadily bringing new low-rise homes to market, helping maintain a balanced sector and easing some of the upward pressure on prices.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the condo market continues to face its own challenges, with strict rules around construction timing limiting the benefits from these incentives. It\u2019s important to recognize that while gross home prices remain unchanged, eligible buyers can access savings through rebates, which has made a real difference in affordability for many clients I work with.<\/p>\n<p>Industry voices agree that measures like the HST rebate help strengthen our region\u2019s economic outlook and protect local jobs. There\u2019s also a strong push for additional support to help the condo sector grow alongside low-rise options. It\u2019s an evolving landscape, and staying informed is key to making smart real estate decisions in today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GTA\u2019s low-rise housing market has seen a notable surge in demand recently, thanks to the support of the HST rebate program.
