What actually comes off your sale price.

Most of it is commission and the GST on it. The rest is smaller and more predictable. Below is what that looks like against what homes are really asking in each city, not a generic range.

What does a realtor charge to sell a house in BC?

Commission in British Columbia is negotiated between you and the brokerage you list with. There is no set rate and no legally mandated amount. A common illustrative structure is a higher percentage on the first $100,000 and a lower percentage on the balance, and that is what the figures on this page use. Your listing agreement sets the real number.

Is GST charged on real estate commission?

Yes. GST applies to the commission itself, not to the sale price of a used residential home. On the illustrative figures below, the GST line is calculated on the commission only.

What else comes off the sale price?

Legal fees and mortgage discharge, any mortgage prepayment penalty if you are breaking a term early, and whatever you spend preparing and moving. A property transfer tax is paid by the buyer, not the seller.

Do I pay tax on the profit?

A home that was your principal residence for every year you owned it is generally exempt from capital gains tax. Investment and secondary properties are not, and BC has additional rules for recently purchased homes. Confirm your situation with an accountant.
