Annual property taxes cannot be overlooked when assessing what it costs to own a house in Lakeshore. This tax is essential in helping the city provide a number of services, including sewer protection and road maintenance. Property tax rates are assessed and determined annually by your municipality. They usually fall somewhere between 0.5 to 2.5%. Some Lakeshore homebuyers believe this tax is based on the size of the house. But rather, the tax rate is multiplied by the home's current market value - which can fluctuate each year based on surrounding homes. If your home's market value is $500,000, and the municipal property tax rate is 1% - your property tax for that year would be $5,000.

When looking for a house in Lakeshore, many buyers will overlook the closing costs. It's important to be aware of what these costs are, so you can budget accordingly prior to making an offer. When searching for a house in Lakeshore, buyers will typically take into account 1.5% - 2% of their budgeted purchase price for closing costs. For instance, 2% in closing costs on a $500,000 house would be $10,000. Because these charges cannot be lumped into your mortgage, it's crucial to have this money upfront upon closing. A significant portion of your closing costs will be dedicated to the land transfer tax. These taxes are based on a percentage of the total purchase price. First-time homebuyers could be eligible to receive a rebate on a portion of taxes paid. Finally, a Lakeshore real estate lawyer will be necessary to conduct a title search, arrange title insurance, plus register the home under your name. A good rule of thumb is to set aside about $1,500 to $2,000 to pay out your real estate lawyer upon closing.
