On May 27, 2025, the federal government introduced the First-Time Home Buyers’ GST Rebate, designed to wipe out GST on new homes up to $1 million, and gradually slash it on homes valued between $1M–$1.5M. That means eligible buyers can pocket up to $50,000—a game‑changer for affordability.
This isn’t just for traditional houses—modular, mobile, even floating homes are fully eligible under the same rules.
What About Manufactured and Modular Homes?
Manufactured homes (also called modular homes) qualify just like conventional new builds. Whether you buy one from a builder, or build it yourself on leased or owned land, you’re eligible for the full rebate on values up to $1 million—and a partial rebate up to $1.5 million. This helps pave the way for more affordable, high-quality prefab home options—trailering flexibility meets serious savings.
