Some information for those of you wondering how the HST affects the sale of a home. There is no HST on the sale of resale homes. But beware, the HST does now apply to many of the other costs associated with the sale/purchase of a resale home (real estate commission, legal fees, inspection costs, etc.). The HST does apply to the sale of new homes, subject to the new housing rebate available.
