Frequently Asked Questions
What Vancouver home buyers ask most.
How much down payment do I need to buy a home in BC?
The minimum is 5% on the first $500,000, plus 10% on the portion from $500,000 to under $1.5 million. At $1.5 million or more, at least 20% of the full price is required. A down payment under 20% usually requires mortgage default insurance.
How much is the BC property transfer tax?
PTT is tiered: 1% on the first $200,000, 2% up to $2 million, 3% up to $3 million, and an extra 2% on the portion above $3 million. First-time buyers and newly built homes may qualify for exemptions.
What are closing costs when buying in BC?
They typically include the property transfer tax, legal/notary fees, title insurance, a home inspection, an appraisal, and GST if the home is newly built. Budget roughly 2 to 4% of the purchase price.
Why is the interest rate on the calculator editable?
Rates change often and depend on your profile. The calculator shows an editable example rate; enter your lender's quote for a more relevant estimate. Reach out to Phan for a mortgage broker referral.
