Common Questions

How much does it cost to sell a home in Newfoundland & Labrador?

The two biggest costs are your agent's commission (fully negotiable between you and your listing agent — there's no fixed or standard rate) and legal fees to close the sale. Both are subject to 15% HST. This calculator lets you enter your actual negotiated commission rate and a legal-fee range to see your real net proceeds.

Is real estate commission negotiable in Canada?

Yes — commission rates are set individually between a seller and their listing brokerage; there is no fixed, standard, or regulated rate anywhere in Canada, including Newfoundland & Labrador. What you see on this calculator is an adjustable field, not a quoted or implied Turner Realty rate — talk to your agent about what structure fits your sale.

Does HST apply to real estate commission in NL?

Yes. HST (15%) applies to the commission you pay your real estate brokerage, the same way it applies to most professional services. It also applies to your lawyer's fees. It does not apply to the sale price of a resale home itself.

What's a mortgage discharge fee, and do I need to know it before selling?

It's a small administrative fee most lenders charge to release their claim on the property once your mortgage is paid off at closing — separate from any prepayment penalty for breaking your mortgage before its term ends. Both are lender-specific figures, not government-set, so call your lender for your exact numbers before you list. See our mortgage renewal guide for how prepayment penalties are typically calculated.

Does this calculator account for capital gains tax?

No. If the home you're selling is your principal residence, the gain is generally tax-free under the principal residence exemption. If it's a rental or investment property, capital gains tax may apply — see our investor tax basics guide, and consult an accountant for your specific situation. This tool covers only the transaction costs of the sale itself, not tax consequences.

Disclaimer: This calculator is for educational purposes and provides estimates only. Commission is fully negotiable and set individually between you and your brokerage — nothing on this page is a quoted or implied Turner Realty rate. Legal fees vary by provider. Mortgage payout and discharge figures must come from your own lender. This is not legal, tax, or financial advice — confirm your specific figures with your real-estate lawyer and lender before listing.
