ll 1 V Murray Koebel said 1,011 new homes sold in March, off less than l% from the 1,017 sold during February 1993, and a slide of 21% from the 1,273 homes sold in March, 1992; 2,678 new homes were sold during the first quarter of I993, compared with 2,703 new homes in the same period last year. "We anticipated an increase. Instead, we achieved a slow-and-steady pace. Despite the appealing combination of low interest rates, stable prices, and the A lingering lack of consumer confi- dence in the economy continues to stall any appreciable climb in new home sales, says the president of the Greater Toronto Home Builders' Association (GTHBA).

We are hopeful April will be a turnaround month," he added. "Today marks one year since we first asked the provincial government to con- sider offering to purchasers of new homes a sales tax rebate of 3%, to a maximum of $7,500. Despite proving on numerous occasions that the rebate would be more than offset from enhanced revenues from other sources federal government's 5% down and RRSP programs, consumer confidence remains the missing ingredient to a full recovery in housing," said Koebel.
