At the Whistler median
The median asking price in Whistler is $1,749,000. On a purchase at that price the closing costs come to roughly $36,030, about 2.1% of the price, on top of your down payment.
Property transfer tax is the largest single piece at $32,980. The rest is legal and conveyancing, an inspection, an appraisal and title insurance, which together run about $3,050.
