How First-Time Buyers in Edmonton & Sherwood Park Can Save Up to $50K on New Homes

Thinking about buying your first home? The Canadian government just made it easier. A newly introduced GST rebate could save you up to $50,000 on the purchase of a new home.

Here’s how it works:

  • The full GST is waived on new homes up to $1 million

  • A reduced rate applies to homes priced up to $1.5 million

  • It applies whether you’re buying from a builder, constructing on your own land, or purchasing through a cooperative

This is great news for buyers in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and surrounding communities where new developments are booming. As a local REALTOR® with RE/MAX Elite, I’m ready to help you take advantage of this opportunity.

Let’s chat about how this rebate could fit into your homebuying journey.

Discover your home personality with this fun 4-question quiz! Whether you're drawn to charm, modern minimalism, or family-friendly features, your results could guide your next move.

Have you ever wondered what your ideal home style truly is?

This month, I’m sharing a fun and insightful quiz that only takes a minute — but the results might surprise you!

Why Take the Quiz?

Your home should reflect more than your budget or square footage needs. It should support your lifestyle, align with your design preferences, and feel like a true sanctuary.

This 4-question quiz dives into:

  • What you want most from your home now and in the future

  • How you like to spend weekends at home

  • Your ideal neighborhood vibe

  • Your favorite interior design aesthetic

By the end, you’ll discover which of four unique home personalities best suits you:

  • Vintage Vibes – For those who love charm, character, and history

  • Modern and Open – Clean lines, smart tech, and low maintenance

  • Family, Friends and Fun – Space for connection and community

  • Now and the Future – Simple, functional, and ready for what’s next

What Your Results Might Mean

If your quiz result lines up with your current home, you’re likely in a great place. But if your lifestyle and your home are out of sync, it might be time to think about what comes next.

Maybe you’ve outgrown your space.
Maybe your priorities have shifted.
Or maybe you're just curious about what’s out there.

Either way, this quiz is a great place to start.

Thinking of a Move? Let’s Talk.

If your home personality has changed, your next move should reflect that. Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing for a growing family, or looking for low-maintenance living, I’d love to help you find the perfect fit.
