First Time Condo Buyer: Know Your Closing Costs
By Condo Culture
Closing costs are all of the costs that are due at the closing of a real estate transaction. If you're buying a condo for the first time be sure that you're familiar with what these costs are and that you have enough funds to cover them. According to Canada's Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) these costs typically average 1.5%-4% of the purchase price.
In this week's blog, our Condo Culture Realtors break down some of the closing costs you may encounter when buying a condo. These include lawyer and real estate fees, land transfer tax and any adjustments that need to be made.
