The median asking price in Oliver is $735,000. On a purchase at that price the closing costs come to roughly $15,750, about 2.1% of the price, on top of your down payment.
Property transfer tax is the largest single piece at $12,700. The rest is legal and conveyancing, an inspection, an appraisal and title insurance, which together run about $3,050.
A qualifying first-time buyer would pay $4,700 of that transfer tax instead of $12,700, bringing closing costs to about $7,750. The exemption carries residency and prior-ownership conditions, so treat it as a figure to confirm rather than assume.
The minimum down payment on $735,000 is $48,500, which puts the cash needed to close at roughly $64,250, or $56,250 as a first-time buyer.
As a share of price, that is in line with the rest of the province, where the median is about 2.1%.
