What's new with Excel.

Buying a new home just became even more rewarding thanks to Canada’s newly-introduced First-Time Home Buyers' (FTHB) GST Rebate. Eligible buyers can now save thousands on new builds offering up to $50,000 back on homes priced upwards to $1.5 million. These changes make modern, energy‑efficient homes more accessible by reducing upfront costs and expanding eligibility beyond the old price limits. At Excel Homes, we’ll help you understand how it all works, what you qualify for and guide you through the process as it unfolds.
