A new government rebate could change the way many Canadians approach buying a home. In this week's episode of the Ottawa Real Estate Podcast, we break down the latest Government of Canada new home rebate, explain who may qualify, and discuss why this policy is already getting attention across the housing market.

We also look at the latest Canadian real estate statistics, how builders are responding to changing demand, and why interest rates and bond yields continue to play such an important role in mortgage pricing. With expectations that fixed mortgage rates could ease in the coming months, we discuss what homeowners, first time buyers, and anyone following the Canadian housing market should be watching next.
