Victoria, BC Cheap Homes for Sale

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to build or buy a home?

Whether it’s less expensive to build or buy a home varies by market, so it’s essential to know all of the costs involved (detailed below) and get local estimates before deciding which route to take. For example, buying a house involves not only the price of the home (or the down payment if you’re taking out a mortgage), but also the closing costs, insurance, property taxes and homeowner’s association fees, if any. In addition, there’s the cost of repairing/replacing older systems and appliances, as well as renovating the home if it’s not a new construction. Likewise, building a home includes a variety of costs, as well. Specifically, there’s the price of the plot of land; hiring architects and engineers; building permit, inspection and impact fees; excavation and foundation costs. Plus, there’s the actual cost of construction (including labor, materials, finishes, appliances and utility hook-ups). Then, in the case of a land and/or construction loan, there are the associated closing costs, plus insurance, property taxes and the cost of landscaping. Moreover, you’ll also likely have to rent during the build, so you’ll have to factor in temporary housing costs, too.
