Land Transfer Tax is a significant closing cost you will have to take into consideration when buying a new home.landtransfertax

Unless you live in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or rural Nova Scotia, land transfer taxes (or property purchase tax) are a basic fact of life. These taxes, levied on properties that are changing hands, are the responsibility of the purchaser. Depending on where you live, taxes can range from a half a per cent to two per cent of the total value of the property.

Many provinces have multi-tiered taxation systems that can prove complicated. If you purchase a property for $260,000 in Ontario, for example, .5 per cent is charged on the first $55,000, 1 per cent is charged on $55,000 – $250,000, while the $250,000 – $400,000 range is taxed at 1.5 per cent. Your total tax bill? $2,375.00.

    We were very happy to have him as our real estate broker

    “Jethro came highly recommended to us by our old Leaside neighbour, so we contacted him to discuss our unique situation.

    My wife and I had plans to sell our house two years in advance. We knew exactly where we were going to move and wanted to be organized. Jethro was very good at giving us a run-down of where he thought the Leaside market was going and what we could do to prepare.
