Closing Costs Associated with Purchasing a New Home

Be prepared to pay some closing costs when purchasing a new home. These costs are not part of the property purchase, but additional items that you should consider.

Possible closings costs can include:

  • Legal fees

  • Interest Adjustment
  • Property Tax Adjustment
  • Property Appraisal
  • Property Inspection
  • Survey Certificate

Note: Some of these costs may be included in your legal fees as your lawyer will arrange for the service to be completed.

Should I Purchase a New Home or a Re-Sale?

First-time home buyers have many decisions to make after deciding to purchase a new home. These decisions can be overwhelming and even frustrating if they do not have all the facts.

Buy a New Home or a Re-Sale

A common question for many first-time home buyers is whether or not to build brand new or to purchase a re-sale. Let our professional mortgage brokers at Alberta Equity Mortgages ease your frustration by offering solid advice while providing both the pros and cons of building brand new or purchasing re-sale.

Hiring a Home Inspector

Hire a Home Inspector Before Buying a House

It's often said that one of the most expensive and important purchases you will ever make will be your home. However, unlike the guarantee a buyer receives with most purchases, there's no money-back guarantee or return policy if you're not satisfied with your recently purchased home.

Once you buy a home, you're on your own to maintain it, repair it, anticipate problems and pay the bills. This is why it's best to know as much as you can about potential problems before you make the commitment to buy. Learn More
