CANADIAN HOMEBUYERS ARE IN AN UNWINNABLE SITUATION

For many Canadians, homeownership has become an impossibility and the primary cause is a series of government taxes that, in some cities, account for nearly 30% of the cost of a new home.

THE PROBLEM

Government taxes account for nearly 30% of the cost of a new home.

15 YEARS OF INFLATION

In 2009 the average taxes on a Toronto condo were $36,000. Today they’re over $240,000. That’s a nearly 600% increase.

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?

The Federal Government for $31,000
The Ontario Government for $65,000
The City of Toronto for $145,000

THE PROBLEM

WHAT IS IT COSTING US?

On average, $1,434 per month in carrying costs and $430,000 over the lifetime of a mortgage. That’s equal to:

54 YEARS OF GROCERIES FOR A COUPLE

34 YEARS OF CAR PAYMENTS

FULL UNIVERSITY TUITION FOR 14 KIDS

THE SOLUTION

THE COALITION AGAINST
NEW-HOME TAXES

We’re a coalition of Canadian home builders and we’re asking that the government reduce new-home taxes.

AND WE PLEDGE TO PASS 100% OF THE SAVINGS ON TO HOMEBUYERS

OUR PLEDGE \

For every dollar of tax eliminated by any level of government from the cost of delivering new housing, we will immediately reduce the price of all homes we sell by the amount saved, dollar for dollar.
