Stop the HST Tax Grab |
|
|
| Subject: Stop the HST - Cost of buying, owning and selling a home to go up by 8%Earlier this week, the Government of Ontario formally launched its latest assault on homeowners, purchasers and sellers with the introduction of legislation to harmonize the provincial sales tax and goods and services tax.Homebuyers and sellers will pay 8 per cent more on legal fees, appraisals, real estate commissions, home inspection fees, and moving costs, adding about $1,500 in new taxes to the average residential real estate transaction in Ontario. For homeowners the HST will also add hundreds of dollars in additional tax on utility bills (gas, electricity and home heating fuel), on home renovation labour, the cost of lawn upkeep or landscaping and the cost of snow removal. |

RBC Report on Housing Affordability |
|
|
| Housing affordability breaks improving trendIn a report published November 25, 2009 RBC Economics Research revealed that the 18 month long improvement in Canadian housing affordability came to an end in the third quarter of 2009. Despite this reversal, homes are still much more affordable than they were a year ago and, nationally, affordability is in line with levels seen in 2006 when the housing market was shifting into high gear.The deterioration in housing affordability was largely due to slight increases in key mortgage rates as well as gains in property values. |
