Winnipeg closing costs
When applying for a mortgage in Winnipeg, you'll need to factor in the closing costs that will accompany your property purchase. Most of these will need to be paid in cash, up front, in addition to your down payment, though some of them can be added to your mortgage.
- Manitoba Land Transfer Tax: Manitoba has a province-wide land transfer tax that will need to be paid when you purchase the property. Manitoba land transfer tax rates vary based on the purchase price, ranging from 0% to 2%. You can learn more on our dedicated Manitoba land transfer tax page.
- Mortgage default insurance: If your down payment is less than 20%, you'll have to pay for mortgage default insurance coverage (often known as CMHC insurance) on top of your mortgage. This is typically rolled into your mortgage, but it's important to consider it.
- Sales tax (PST) on CMHC premiums: Manitoba used to charge PST on CMHC premiums. It scrapped the tax in 2020, as part of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
These are just some of the closing costs you’ll have to pay in Winnipeg. Learn more on our closing costs education centre page.
Winnipeg first-time home buyer rebates
Some Canadian provinces and cities offer a refund of the land transfer tax for first-time home buyers, in an attempt to make it easier for first-time home buyers to get into the real estate market.
Unfortunately, Manitoba does not offer such a rebate. However, Winnipeg's first-time home buyers are still able to access many of the other first-time home buyer programs in Canada.
