Saskatoon physician mortgage questions.
Does Saskatoon have a land transfer tax?01
No. Saskatchewan has no land transfer tax. Saskatoon buyers pay only a small land title registration fee (roughly 0.3-0.4% of value), so a $430,000 home carries about $1,500 rather than the tens of thousands seen in Toronto or Vancouver.
Is Saskatoon a good market for physicians to buy?02
For many, yes. Attainable prices and no land transfer tax make detached ownership realistic early in a career, and projected income lets residents buy during training.
