When you\u2019ve finally found your dream home, you\u2019ll most likely be thinking about how you\u2019ll furnish the living room or which paint colours to choose. While the closing date means you get possession of your new home, you still need to take care of the expenses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Closing costs are paid upfront when someone closes on a\u00a0property in Canada. These costs can include the down payment, land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, and other miscellaneous costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/best-canadian-cities-buying-apartment-single-income-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Top Canadian Cities for Buying an Apartment on a Single Income<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To help first-time homebuyers better understand what they should expect to pay on closing day, we compiled estimates based on average home prices in 28 major markets across British Columbia. Calculations assume the minimum down payment is made (and includes the initial deposit amount), that all land transfer tax (LTT) rebates for first-time home buyers have been applied, and that mortgage default insurance costs have been rolled into the mortgage, and hence do not need to be paid on closing day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Enjoying our content?

Buyers in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/whistler-bc-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Whistler<\/a> will pay the most, with an expected closing cost of $302,192 on a home at the average price of $1,373,600. The $274,720 down payment contributes to this the most.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all nine cities where a home costs over an average of $1,000,000, you can expect to see closing costs of over $200,000. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/burnaby-bc-real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Burnaby<\/a> has the lowest average price of these cities, at $1,054,500, with a minimum down payment of $210,900, resulting in closing costs of around $231,990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/top-canadian-cities-to-buy-in-real-estate-in-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Top Canadian Cities to Buy Real Estate in 2023<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are many&nbsp;cities with prices below the British Columbia average of $961,451, there are only four that we covered below the national average of $686,371.

Powell River has closing costs below $50,000, at just $49,790, resulting from a home at a price of $623,251. Kamloops is the most affordable with a home price of $576,974, meaning closing costs of $44,236.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at the infographic below to see how estimated closing costs range across British Columbia for first-time home buyers if they were purchasing the average-priced home in each city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"1448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Frame-79-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Frame-79-3.png 600w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Frame-79-3-124x300.png 124w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Frame-79-3-424x1024.png 424w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Frame-79-3-768x1853.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Frame-79-3-637x1536.png 637w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Frame-79-3-849x2048.png 849w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Average home prices for March 2023 were sourced from each city\u2019s regional or district real estate board, or from the Canadian Real Estate Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minimum down payment is due on closing day and is calculated as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Purchase price of $500,000 or less: 5% of the purchase price<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Purchase price of $500,000 to $999,999: 5% of the first $500,000 of the purchase price, 10% for the portion of the purchase price above $500,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Purchase price of $1 million or more: 20% of the purchase price<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mortgage insurance premium can be paid on closing day, or added to the home\u2019s mortgage amount. The mortgage insurance premium for a loan based on a 5% down payment (i.e. loan-to-value ratio of 95%) is 4% of the total loan, i.e. 4% x (home value &#8211; down payment amount).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general property transfer tax applies for all taxable transactions. The general property transfer tax rate is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-1% of the purchase price up to and including $200,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-2% of the purchase price greater than $200,000 and up to and including $2,000,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-3% of the purchase price greater than $2,000,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-If the property has residential property worth over $3,000,000, a further 2% tax will be applied to the residential property value greater than $3,000,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>British Columbia provides land transfer tax rebates for first time home buyers. Homes purchased for $500,000 or less will receive a full refund. For homes with a purchase price of between $500,000 and $525,000, a partial refund is given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legal fees, title insurance and misc costs refers to legal fees and disbursements, title insurance, property tax adjustments and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re here to help you!
