Many of them have not taken this expense into account with their initial budget. RealNet estimates 20,000 closings in 2014 alone. The additional expense is incurred if said property is an investment unit and purchased from a builder. HST is 13% of the purchase price and a portion of this is due on closing. The Federal and Provincial government will allow a maximum New Housing Rebate based on a weighted calculation by purchase price. We will qualify investors for the rebate if they meet the loan requirements.<\/p>\n

          Refunds are normally issued within 8 weeks of the application being filed, but can take up to over a year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
