The Ontario government unveiled a plan on Tuesday proposing to cut home prices by up to $80,000 for first-time buyers in the province — and if a corresponding federal government proposal passes, some buyers will be saving as much as $130,000 on their new homes.Even with home prices in the province on the decline, home ownership remains far out of reach for many Ontario residents — a sustained issue that, after years of heel-dragging, governments are starting to address through tax rebates.The latest proposed rebate would see the 8 per cent provincial share of HST cut for first-time home buyers on new homes priced as high as $1 million.In dollar figures, that rebate would slash up to $80,000 off the cost of a new home, which, when combined with a matching rebate proposed by the federal government to slash its 5 per cent share of the HST, would combine for $130,000 in savings.The Ford government plans to include the proposal in its upcoming 2025 Fall Economic Statement, ha...
