Buying Your First Home in the Edmonton Area

Buying your first home feels like a lot of moving parts. I help first-time buyers in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Leduc and Beaumont understand each step before they make an offer.

What does buying a home really cost?


The price is only part of it. Plan for:
  • Down payment (minimum 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above that up to $1.5 million)
  • Legal fees and land title registration
  • Home inspection
  • Property tax and utility adjustments on possession day
  • Moving costs and immediate repairs or furnishing

The guide breaks these down with a worksheet.
