Property transfer tax is the largest single piece at $27,980. 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 Whistler it reaches only the lower end of the market.
The minimum down payment on $1,499,000 is $124,900, which puts the cash needed to close at roughly $155,930.
As a share of price, that is in line with the rest of the province, where the median is about 2.1%.
