About this episode

The episode discusses new government housing incentives and their potential impact on the real estate market in Toronto and Canada.

Policy is playing catch-up to a market that’s already moved on.In this episode of the Toronto Real Estate Podcast, we break down the wave of new HST rebates, development charge cuts, and government incentives aimed at “fixing” affordability. The question is… will any of it actually move the market?Joined by real estate lawyer David Young, we unpack what’s changed, who actually benefits, and where this creates real opportunity across Toronto and beyond.From first-time buyer GST rebates to investor incentives and the hidden mechanics behind development charges, this is a clear look at how policy is reshaping the next phase of real estate in Canada. ____________________________________________________ Speakers: Ralph Fox (Co-Founder and Broker of Record at Fox Marin) David Young (Real Estate Lawyer at Sorbara Law)
