If you're a first-time homebuyer in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, or anywhere in Alberta, the federal government just made homeownership significantly more attainable.
As of 2025, GST has been eliminated on brand new homes priced under $1 million, and reduced for homes up to $1.5 million. That’s up to $50,000 in savings—a major advantage if you're entering the housing market.
To qualify, you must be:
Purchasing a brand new home from a builder
Building a home on land you already own
Buying into a housing co-operative
This change is designed to ease affordability issues for first-time buyers and support more Canadians in achieving their dream of homeownership.
Not sure if you’re eligible or want to explore your options? I’d love to help. I’m Benita Pashko with RE/MAX Elite, and I specialize in working with first-time buyers across the Edmonton & Sherwood Park area.
