Scenario Breakdown
Based on the current inputs, if you are purchasing a $1,200,000 home in British Columbia with an interest rate of 5%, your estimated base payment will be $5,123 (monthly).
Beyond the mortgage payment, your estimated Land Transfer Tax (LTT) for this transaction is $22,000. If you are a first-time home buyer, you may be eligible for significant rebates on this tax.
