1. Independent Resource

FirstHomeOntario.ca is an independent resource and is not affiliated with any real estate brokerage, mortgage broker, the Government of Ontario, or the Government of Canada. We provide a platform for consumers to research market data and connect with licensed professionals who handle specific transactions.

2. Calculator Estimates

While we strive for accuracy based on the latest available legislation (including 2026 federal HST rebate enhancements), we cannot guarantee the precision of our calculators for your specific situation. Variables such as builder-specific inclusions, municipal levies, and changing regulations can alter final amounts. Do not finalize any purchase agreement without verification from your legal counsel.

3. Requirement for Professionals

Buying a home—especially a pre-construction or new development—is a massive legal and financial undertaking. You must verify all numbers, contracts, and tax liabilities with your independent legal counsel, mortgage broker, and licensed real estate representative prior to signing an Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

4. 2026 Legislation Compliance

This site tracks proposed and enacted 2026 legislation. Proposed legislation (such as the Ontario HST Expansion) is not yet law. Until it passes, standard rules apply. Our calculators mark proposed categories clearly. We take no responsibility for financial losses incurred by relying on proposed legislative outcomes.
