GST Relief for First-Time Buyers: What It Means for You and How Abbey Platinum Can Help You Build Smarter

If you’ve been dreaming of owning your first home in Central Alberta, there’s never been a better time to build. The Government of Canada recently introduced a GST rebate for first-time home buyers, allowing you to save big on new homes valued up to $1.5 million.

Here’s what that means — and how Abbey Platinum Master Built can help you make the most of it.

🧾 What Is the New GST Relief?

As part of a national effort to improve housing affordability, the federal government is eliminating the 5% GST on newly built homes for qualified first-time buyers, as long as the home’s purchase price is $1.5 million or less.

For example, on a $600,000 home, that could mean a savings of $30,000 — which can go a long way toward finishes, landscaping, or simply keeping your mortgage smaller.

🛠️ Why This Matters in Central Alberta

Real estate prices in Central Alberta are still more accessible than in many other parts of the country, and this new GST break gives first-time buyers even more buying power.

Whether you’re looking to settle in Red Deer, Lacombe, Blackfalds, Sylvan Lake, or surrounding communities, Abbey Platinum Master Built is proud to offer custom home options and move-in-ready designs to fit a wide range of budgets — now made even more achievable with this new relief.
