Tax Changes

June 23rd, 2013, Owen Bigland

Now that the province of BC has gone back to the GST/PST tax system I thought I would outline the 2 main benefits to buying and selling Real Estate.  On the purchase of new homes you were required to pay 12% HST. Now you only pay 5% GST plus a 2% BC transitional tax for a total of 7%. The second is on Real Estate commissions when you sell a home where I now charge only 5% GST instead of 12% HST for a savings of 7%. So the expulsion of the HST back to GST is a major benefit to the Real Estate buyer and seller in this province and may be one of the contributing factors in our sales volume increase this Spring .

Choosing a Realtor

June 14th, 2013, Owen Bigland

I've noticed recently that many financial magazines are recommending that home owners interview at least 2 if not 3 Realtors before they decide who to hire for the job. I think this is good advice and it makes sense for a number of reasons. The 3 main decision makers would be: Is the Realtor qualified for what you want to hire him or her for? If you are selling your home, is the agent a marketing and listing specialist or more of a jack of all trades Realtor? Finally, do you think you will get along and be able to have a 2 or 3 month working relationship with this Realtor? If you think your personalities might clash you should probably keep looking.

The PTT Is a Tax Grab

June 7th, 2013, Owen Bigland

Most people in BC don't realize that the BC Government introduced the PTT (property transfer tax) in 1987 as a wealth tax. It was meant to discourage speculation at the high end of the market. It was set at 1% on the first $200,000 and 2% on the balance. Since its introduction the average price of a lower mainland home has gone up by 500% yet the PTT has never been adjusted to account for the increased property values. In 1987 only 5% of all homes sold triggered the 2%. Today 96% of all sales trigger the hefty 2% tax rate. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver thinks it's long overdue that the BC Government adjust this tax grab and I agree. We're asking that the 2% threshold be increase to a bit more reasonable at ...
