How do I calculate exact Saskatoon closing costs for my offer?

Exact closing costs come from your purchase price, financing and property type, and a lawyer's written estimate is the only reliable way to get them, but the components are consistent: legal fees typically $800 to $1,500, the Information Services Corporation title fee, and PST on your CMHC insurance premium if your down payment is under 20 percent.

For a resale detached home, add a home inspection, typically $400 to $600, and any adjustments for prepaid property taxes or utilities the seller is owed credit for at your possession date.

For a condo, add the cost of your lawyer reviewing the corporation's reserve fund study and budget, and confirm whether any special assessment is pending before your offer goes firm.

Ask your lawyer for a written estimate as soon as your offer is accepted, since that is the number your financing condition and your final decision should be based on, not a rule of thumb.
