Property transfer tax is the largest single piece at $67,640. The rest is legal and conveyancing, an inspection, an appraisal and title insurance, which together run about $3,050.
At this price the first-time buyer exemption does not apply. It phases out between $835,000 and $860,000 and is gone above that, so in West Vancouver it reaches only the lower end of the market.
The minimum down payment on $2,988,000 is $597,600, which puts the cash needed to close at roughly $668,290.
As a share of price that is 0.3 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.
