Closing costs are the part nobody talks about when buying in BC.
Everyone focuses on saving the down payment.
That is only half the story.

There are additional costs that add up fast and if you are not prepared, that is where deals may fall apart.

Here is how Property Transfer Tax works in BC.
1% on the first $200,000
2% on the portion between $200,000 and $2,000,000
3% on the portion above $2,000,000
On a $700,000 purchase, PTT equals $12,000.
If you qualify as a First Time Home Buyer, you could receive an exemption of up to $8,000.

You also need to account for:
Legal or Notary fees ~ $1,500
Inspection ~ $500
Appraisal ~ $400 (if required)
Adjustments ~ $500 to $1,000+
Total closing costs can range from roughly $3,000 to $15,000 or more depending on your exemption.

Know your real number before you start shopping.
The difference between buyers and dreamers is preparation.

Did you purchase your home with less than 20% down?
CMHC offers up to 25% back on your mortgage insurance premium for energy efficient homes, which could mean thousands of dollars back in your pocket.

If your mortgage is CMHC-insured and your home meets approved efficiency standards (or you’ve completed qualifying upgrades), you may be eligible.

You have 24 months after closing to apply.

Not sure if you qualify? Send me a message and I’ll help you find out.

The Bank of Canada left its policy rate unchanged today at 2.25%, signaling a pause as economic conditions remain mixed and inflation stays near target.

For borrowers, this means no immediate change to variable-rate payments and a bit more breathing room when it comes to budgeting and short-term planning. With rates sitting in a more balanced range and global uncertainty still in play, policymakers are taking a cautious, data-driven approach.

While today’s decision brings stability, choosing the right strategy around renewals, refinances, or fixed vs. variable still matters.

If you’re coming up on a mortgage decision this year, it’s a good time to review your options and plan ahead.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you are wanting to review options.

💰 Were you one that renewed your mortgage in 2023–2024 and got locked in with a 5.5% interest rate?

Now that rates have normalized, breaking your term and refinancing could save you thousands over the life of your mortgage, and in many cases with no out-of-pocket costs, thanks to cash-back options.
I help homeowners review their mortgage and see if it still makes sense for them.

If you want a free mortgage check-up,
please reach out anytime. Happy to see if there are options for you.

How can Mortgage Experts compete with Banks?
Well, I’m competitive by nature, so let me break it down for you.

Access to more lenders:
Banks can only offer their own mortgage products. DLC Mortgage Experts work with dozens of lenders, credit unions, trust companies, private lenders… and yes, the big banks too. We shop the entire market to find the best terms and rates for you.

Broker only products:
Banks have limited options and very little wiggle room. DLC can access exclusive broker only products and lower rates that you won’t get walking into a branch.

More flexible terms:
DLC can match you with lenders who offer better prepayment privileges, portability, and friendlier penalty structures than the rigid policies many banks use. This flexibility can save you thousands if you move, refinance, or pay your mortgage down early.

Everything about how we work is different from a bank. We stay connected, we check in, we send cards, and we actually pay attention to what’s going on in your life. It’s not a transaction to us, it’s a relationship. You’re not just another file, you’re someone we’re committed to supporting long after the paperwork is done.

So honestly… it makes me wonder: How can banks ever compete with Dominion Lending Centres?

When you’re ready to stop settling for bank-level service, get in touch and let’s get you taken care of!
