Buying a home comes with more than just the home's price tag 💸

Here are 5 costs that buyers in Ontario should plan for:

🔍 Home inspection
💰 Land transfer tax
📑 Legal fees
📈 Appraisal costs
🔧 Closing adjustments

Budgeting for these up front = fewer surprises on closing day!

Interested to learn more about how these costs may or may not affect your current situation? Give me a call or text at 519.808.1735 to discuss !

What do you think of this news?

I am excited to see more office to residence conversions planned for our downtown core!
From a sustainability perspective this just makes so much sense! Why build new when you can repurpose what already exists!?!

Not to mention to revitalization of the core, and additional housing units which are so badly needed.
