Estimates only. Rates, rules and fees change and your lender, lawyer and tax adviser have the final word — please confirm before you rely on any number. The first-time rebate is up to $4,000 in Ontario and $4,475 in Toronto and only applies if you and your spouse qualify. Land transfer tax is paid on closing.
