What Sellers Need to Know
Alberta has no provincial land transfer tax — which is great for buyers and means your buyers have more purchasing power. RECA (Real Estate Council of Alberta) governs real estate professionals and transaction standards in the province.
The typical Calgary seller's costs include: real estate commission (paid at possession), real estate lawyer fees ($1,000–$1,500), any agreed repairs or adjustments from home inspection, and property tax adjustments at closing. There is no HST on resale residential properties in Alberta.
