What other closing costs do Saskatoon buyers pay?

Beyond the purchase price, Saskatoon buyers typically pay legal fees of $800 to $1,500, a home inspection at $400 to $600, and provincial sales tax on mortgage default insurance when the down payment is under 20 percent. Utility and property tax adjustments also settle through your lawyer at possession.

Title insurance, arranged through your lawyer rather than a US-style third-party holdback process, is a smaller but real line item, and your lawyer's office will disburse it alongside the Information Services Corporation registration fee for the title transfer itself.

If you are financing through a mortgage broker, appraisal fees sometimes apply depending on the lender, and moving costs, though not a closing cost technically, tend to land in the same week as possession and are worth budgeting alongside everything else.

Joel Dyck lays out the full list for buyers before an offer goes in, so the possession-day total is not a surprise. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
