How does property tax work in Edmonton?
Property taxes are based on the City of Edmonton’s assessed value of your home. The rate changes annually and can be paid in one lump sum or through the TIPP (Tax Installment Payment Plan) for monthly payments.
Always check the latest rates on the City of Edmonton’s website.
What’s the difference between a mortgage broker and a bank?
Mortgage Broker – Shops multiple lenders for the best rate and terms.
Bank – Offers only their own mortgage products.
Brokers often secure better rates and more flexible terms, but some buyers prefer the simplicity of working with their existing bank.
What are special assessments in condos, and should I be worried?
A special assessment is an extra fee charged to condo owners when the reserve fund isn’t enough to cover major repairs.
To protect yourself:
- Always review the reserve fund study before buying a condo.
- Ask if there are pending or expected assessments.
A low condo fee isn’t always a good thing—it may mean the reserve fund is underfunded.
What happens if I break my mortgage early?
If you sell your home or refinance before your term is up, your lender may charge:
- A three-month interest penalty (common with variable-rate mortgages).
- An Interest Rate Differential (IRD) (can be much higher for fixed-rate mortgages).
Check with your lender before selling to avoid unexpected penalties.
Do I need a real estate lawyer?
Yes, both buyers and sellers should have a lawyer to:
- Review contracts & mortgage documents
- Ensure proper title transfer
- Handle closing funds securely
