The HST will add about $7,500 to a single-family home currently priced at $565,000 in Maple Ridge. The tax on real estate and inspection fees would be additional costs.
Taxes and fees will account for $83,000 of the house price, said Peter Simpson, chief executive officer of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association. That includes municipal fees, development charges, school site acquisition fee, regional levies for sewer and water, and permit fees.

Да что вы тут с домами носитесь! Харпер сказал, что из-за ХСТ гамбургеры подешевеют! (краем уха по радио сегодня услышал)

Matt Mills, a single, self-employed 39-year old man living in North Vancouver, sees no benefit to the HST. He is in a long distance relationship and travels often. The new tax will mean a 7-per-cent increase on every ticket he buys.
He estimates he will pay $50 more each month just for airline flights. He figures he will get hit just as quickly staying home. He checks his monthly bills: cable ($38.95), hydro ($25), movies ($25), groceries ($120), restaurants ($300), haircut ($25), wellness activities such as acupuncture and massage ($135) and strata fees ($18). That works out to another $50 more in taxes each month. He calculates costs associated with occasional expenses, such as accounting fees ($3,600) and vehicle repairs ($765). HST could cost him on average around $125 more each month.
Mr. Mills, who moved to B.C. from Alberta, lives in a two-storey townhouse on the North Shore. He works in the financial sector. The tax is not expected to affect his business, but the impact on his life outside work might be enough to push him to consider moving elsewhere. He estimated he is already paying a 15-per-cent premium to live on the West Coast rather than Calgary. At some point, he mused, it could be just too costly to stay.
Leaving B.C. will also cost more, he noted. “Real-estate commissions will also be subject to an increase. That will affect the seller's net profit. So if I did decide to vote with my wallet and move to Alberta, selling this place would be the final twist of the knife. That would mean an additional $1,700 in tax on real-estate commissions.”
