There is great news today for first-time homebuyers. A recent federal measure related to the GST makes it possible to receive a rebate of up to $50,000 when purchasing a new home, depending on its value.
Far more than a simple tax break, we see this as meaningful support that helps make homeownership more attainable and gives new momentum to plans already taking shape.
In practical terms, this measure significantly reduces the amount that needs to be financed. When the purchase price is lowered from the outset, the entire homebuying journey becomes more flexible. A down payment feels more manageable, financing becomes easier to access, and the mortgage burden is reduced as well.
This is not merely a tax provision. It is a tangible lever that opens up more possibilities for those who want to become homeowners with confidence and clarity.
Real Opportunities Across Prével Projects
At Prével, making homeownership more tangible for younger generations has long been part of our commitment. We have a clear vision: to give young buyers the means to bring their plans to life by relying on concrete, meaningful solutions. Supporting a first home purchase means allowing people to put down roots and look to the future with confidence and stability. Read more in the Marshall Plan.
This is exactly why the new GST measure is so relevant. By reducing part of the purchase cost from the very beginning, it creates more favourable conditions for first-time buyers and more directly supports the realization of a project that might otherwise have remained out of reach.
In several projects currently on the market, this measure further strengthens already attractive opportunities. Whether for condominiums or townhomes, it makes purchasing more advantageous and, in many cases, more accessible—fully aligned with our commitment to keep doing better for those who choose to build their future with us.
Quartier Général
Running alongside the Lachine Canal, this project is located in one of Montreal’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. The energy of the area, the proximity to services, and the ease of getting around create a highly desirable living environment, where everything is in place to fully enjoy everyday life.
For a one-bedroom unit listed at $421,000 + tax, the GST rebate represents $21,050. This is a substantial amount that directly reduces the purchase cost and makes this opportunity even more attractive for an eligible first-time buyer looking to settle in the neighbourhood.
Les Cours Bellerive
Close to the river and Parc de la Promenade Bellerive, this project offers a calmer lifestyle, where nature and the surrounding neighbourhood contribute to an especially peaceful quality of life.
For a two-bedroom unit listed at $397,000 + tax, the GST rebate represents up to $19,850. This benefit further enhances an already attractive purchase by adding valuable flexibility at the moment of making the project a reality.
Village Lacey Green
In Kirkland, this project brings together several of the qualities buyers are looking for today: more space, more peace and quiet, all within a well-established neighbourhood.
For a three-bedroom townhome listed at $945,000 + tax, the GST rebate offers a reduction of $47,250. An amount like this gives real weight to the purchase project by adding major financial support in a living environment already distinguished by its quality and potential.
Excellent News to Help Move a Life Project Forward
For first-time buyers, the GST rebate stands out as a key element to consider in the homebuying process. When combined with projects that are already well positioned, it provides meaningful support and helps turn careful consideration into action.
Beyond the financial aspect, this measure shows that a real estate project can move forward more favourably when the right conditions are in place. It paves the way for greater peace of mind and makes it possible to approach homeownership with a clearer, more confident outlook.
