At the Prince George median
The median asking price in Prince George is $382,450. On a purchase at that price the closing costs come to roughly $8,699, about 2.3% of the price, on top of your down payment.
Property transfer tax is the largest single piece at $5,649. 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 $0 of that transfer tax instead of $5,649, bringing closing costs to about $3,050. The exemption carries residency and prior-ownership conditions, so treat it as a figure to confirm rather than assume.
The minimum down payment on $382,450 is $19,123, which puts the cash needed to close at roughly $27,822, or $22,173 as a first-time buyer.
As a share of price that is 0.2 points above the provincial median of about 2.1%, which is mostly a function of price level: the transfer tax is charged on a rising scale.
