Closing costs explained β€” the expenses most Canadian buyers forget to budget for. πŸ‘πŸ’°

Your down payment isn’t the only cash you’ll need at closing. Here’s what to plan for πŸ‘‡

Land Transfer Tax: Varies by province, and sometimes by city.

Legal Fees: Typically $1,000 – $2,000 in Canada.

Title Insurance: Typically $200 – $400.

Home Inspection: Usually $350 – $750.

Adjustments: Repayments to the seller for prepaid property taxes, condo fees, or utilities.

πŸ’‘ Total closing costs typically range from 1.5% to 3% of the purchase price, depending on your province, property type, and situation.

Budgeting for these upfront means no surprises on closing day. πŸ”‘

Sale price vs list price β€” do you know the difference? 🏑

These two numbers tell very different stories, and understanding both is key to making smart decisions in Canadian real estate.

List Price
The price a seller sets when a property is first put on the market.

Sale Price
The final price the property actually sells for after negotiations.

πŸ’‘ The gap between them reveals a lot. In a seller’s market, homes often sell above list. In a buyer’s market, there’s typically more room to negotiate below it.

Looking only at list prices gives you an incomplete picture. The sale price is what actually reflects the market. πŸ”‘

What is a mortgage pre-approval, and why should it be your first step? πŸ‘πŸ“„

A mortgage pre-approval is a lender’s written confirmation of how much you may be able to borrow.

Here’s why it matters πŸ‘‡

Confirms Your Budget
Shows how much you may qualify to borrow before you start looking.

Based on Your Financials
Lenders review your income, credit, and existing debts to determine your purchasing power.

Helps You Shop With Confidence
You’ll know your price range before you start house hunting β€” and sellers take your offer more seriously.

πŸ’‘ Getting pre-approved doesn’t commit you to anything. It simply gives you clarity and strengthens your position when the right home comes along. πŸ”‘

How much do you actually need for a down payment in Canada? πŸ‘πŸ’°

The minimum changes based on your purchase price β€” here’s the breakdown πŸ‘‡

Under $500,000
5% minimum down payment

$500,000 – $999,999
5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above $500,000

$1,000,000 and above
20% minimum down payment

πŸ’‘ One important note β€” if you put down less than 20%, mortgage default insurance is required, which gets added to your mortgage.

🏒 Investing instead? The rules are different. Programs like CMHC MLI Select can allow investors to purchase multi-family properties with a significantly lower down payment than conventional financing requires.

Knowing your number is the first step to knowing your budget. πŸ”‘
