Aside from mortgage payments, owning a house in North Bay will require that you pay an annual property tax. This tax helps pay for a variety of services, including garbage collection and snow removal. Property tax rates are assessed and determined annually by your municipality. They usually fall somewhere between 0.5 to 2.5%. Some North Bay residents assume they'll pay more in taxes, depending on the size of their home. However, that's not necessarily true as the city's tax rate is multiplied by the property's current market value - and that can change each year based on the sale of nearby homes. Let's say your home's assessed market value is $600,000 and the municipality's property tax rate is 1% - that year you'd pay $6,000.

A common mistake buyers make is overlooking the closing costs associated with purchasing a house in North Bay. These fees are standard in real estate, but can still catch you off guard if you're unprepared. Buyers are not allowed to roll closing costs into their mortgage. So be prepared to budget anywhere up to 2% of the purchase price. For instance, 2% on a $600,000 house in North Bay would require $12,000 to be set aside for closing day. In Canada, regardless of where you purchase, all buyers must pay a land transfer tax. These amounts are set up by the individual provinces, with some municipalities imposing a second tax upon closing. First-time homebuyers could be eligible to receive a rebate on a portion of taxes paid. And lastly, buying North Bay real estate will require a lawyer you can trust. You'll need to find someone who specializes in this as they'll be finalizing your purchase. A good rule of thumb is to set aside about $1,500 to $2,000 to pay out your real estate lawyer upon closing.
