Purchasing Resources

Here are some things that we think you may find helpful as you seek to find your new home.

While buying a new home is often one of the most exciting times, it is important that you know and understand all of the costs involved with the purchase of a new property. Here are the fees you can expect:

  • Property Transfer Tax – 1% of the 1st $200,000 & 2% on the balance of the purchase price.
  • Lawyer / Notary Fees – Includes your lawyer’s fees & registration of mortgage and certificate of title and disbursements.
  • Appraisal Fee – Some lenders may require an appraiser’s report confirming that the purchase reflects fair market value.
  • House Inspection Fee – When buying a property that is not brand new it is often a good idea to have a property inspection conducted on the property to pinpoint defects. This is not a lending institution requirement
  • Property Tax Adjustment – Based on the “adjustment date,” you may have to reimburse the seller for prepaid property taxes.
  • HST – HST is not payable on used residential housing. Some buyers may be eligible for partial HST rebates.
  • First Time Home Buyers requirements – A first time home buyers may qualify for a full exemption with a purchase price of less than $425,000.00 (previously $375,000.00). A partial exemption is available if the purchase price is more than $425,000.00 but less than $450,000.00. Also, there is no longer a requirement for any financing.For more information, please see http://www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/documents_liberary/bulletins/PPT_004.pdf

Dan’s reputation is well deserved. He makes you feel very comfortable with the whole sales process. You need to rely on your realtor to assess market conditions and recommend a list price that will not only provide you with maximize value but also garner immediate interest in the property as it hits the market. In our situation, this resulted in an immediate sale and we could not be happier.
