What closing costs should I be prepared for?

Closing costs are dictated by what you are purchasing. It is a good rule of thumb to have at least 1.5% of the purchase price available for potential closing costs. Here are potential closing costs:

Property transfer tax. This equates to 1% on the first $200,000 and 2% on the remainder. If you are purchasing under $425,000 and have never been on title of a home you “lived” in, then you are exempt from this tax
Moving costs strata elevator rental, etc
Inspection – $400
Appraisal – $250 (if necessary)
Lawyer – $1,000 – $1,200
GST / HST – 5% to 12%
