We purchased a villa two years ago and closing was over $13k I have never heard of such closing cost in my life before but this is how it is here. I was shocked at that until I heard from my neighbors who bought much more expensive homes who had closing costs of $20k.

That was exclusive of our bond by the way. We paid the bond off because we didn't want to have something like a second mortgage hanging on.

Resales are sometimes much more cost effective. You need to balance all data before signing on the bottom line.
