    How do property taxes work in Selwyn?

    Aside from mortgage payments, owning a house in Selwyn will require that you pay an annual property tax. This tax is used to pay for several essential services, including garbage and recycling collection. Each year, your municipality will determine its property tax rate, which typically lands between 0.5 and 2.5%. This tax is not necessarily dictated by the size of your house, which is what many Selwyn homeowners tend to believe. But rather, the city's tax rate is multiplied by the property's current market value - and that can fluctuate year-to-year based on recently sold homes. For instance, if your home's market value is $800,000 and the municipality's property tax rate is 0.5%, you'd pay $4,000 that year.

    What are the typical closing costs for purchasing a house in Selwyn?

    All buyers must pay a series of closing costs when purchasing a house here. Your realtor and/or real estate agent can best advise on what these charges are. But here's a quick overview of what's involved when buying property in Selwyn. When searching for a house in Selwyn, 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. 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. The most common way to reduce this tax is by applying for the first-time homebuyer rebate. Lastly, you'll need a Selwyn real estate lawyer, not only to facilitate the financial transaction, but to conduct a title search and register the property under your name. Depending on the complexities of the deal, legal fees can range. But budgeting $2,000 for your lawyer is a good place to start.
