With property values this high, selecting the right mortgage lender can save tens of thousands of dollars over the life of your loan. A 0.1% difference on a $1.2 million mortgage represents $1,200 per year in interest.
Port Credit buyers also benefit from Ontario's provincial land transfer tax only — there is no Toronto municipal LTT. On a $1.2 million purchase, you'll pay approximately $20,475 in provincial LTT, compared to over $37,000 if you were buying in Toronto itself.
Port Credit's main commercial strip along Lakeshore Road East has ATMs from TD, RBC, and Scotiabank. For no-fee ATM access, KOHO uses the Exchange network and EQ Bank users can access thousands of ATMs across Canada. Avoid out-of-network ATM fees — they can add up quickly for frequent users.
