Buyers Don’t Pay Property Purchase Tax on New Homes at Woodland Creek
On February 16th, the BC Government gave buyers of new homes in British Columbia an advantage by exempting them from the Property Purchase Tax on new home purchases. This regulatory change eliminates the provincial tax payable on real estate transactions in the amount of 1% on the first $200,000 and 2% on the balance, a savings of $13,000 on a new home purchase of $750,000.
All new homes at Woodland Creek in Sooke qualify for the new tax exemption. With new home prices starting at $389,900, this saves buyers a minimum of $5,000 when making a ‘new home’ purchase in one of Victoria BC’s favourite seaside communities.
Below are some key points to consider:
1. The exemption applies only to newly built homes – not resale homes.
2. There is a full exemption for qualifying properties with a fair market value of $750,000 or less and a partial exemption for qualifying properties with a fair market value between $750,000 and $800,000.
3. The property must be 0.5 hectares (1.24 acres) or smaller.
4. The party claiming the exemption:
a. must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
b. must use the property as a principal residence.
c. does not have to be a first time home buyer.
Other Changes to the BC Property Transfer Tax Rate
Another change to the Property Transfer Tax Act is a new tax rate of 3% for properties with a fair market value greater than $2,000,000. The Property Transfer Tax (PTT) is now calculated as follows:
1. 1% of the taxable transaction’s fair market value that does not exceed $200,000.
2. 2% of that fair market value that exceeds $200,000 but does not exceed $2,000,000.
3. 3% of that fair market value that exceeds $2,000,000.
First Time Buyers Exemption
The First Time Home Buyers’ Program eliminates the amount of property transfer tax you pay when you purchase your first home (new or resale). The home must be $475,000 or less if registered and be 0.5 hectares (1.24 acres) or smaller

Main floor living ranks high amongst the retiring baby boomer population and with that in mind we’ve created the Qualicum plan. A home with a master bedroom and ensuite on the main floor with 2 or 3 extra rooms upstairs has made our Arbutus plan popular with couples looking to downsize in their retirement, but not downsize too much. We think the Qualicum measures up nicely to meet the needs of discerning buyers looking for a ‘master on the main’ floor plan.
The Qualicum is exceptional, offering a 1764 sq ft floor plan of open design living. “We find some buyers like the convenience and accessibility of main floor living, but want more space than a rancher,” said Blair Robertson co-owner of Totangi Properties. “We designed the Qualicum with this in mind, providing a large master bedroom and 5 piece ensuite with separate tub and shower and double vanity on the main floor and an additional 2 bedrooms, flex room and 4 piece bathroom upstairs. We expect to receive great feedback on this plan from buyers looking at ageing in place.” The homes feature thoughtfully designed interiors with timeless finishes and features offered in Phase 3C
The main floor also features a gourmet kitchen complete with all appliances, soft close cabinet doors and drawers, glass tile backsplash & quartz breakfast bar. Powder room and laundry is accessed off the main hallway and next to the garage entrance. A well planned dining-living room is enhanced with a fireplace with wood mantle and tile surround and vaulted ceiling and access to a sunny landscaped and fenced yard and deck. All of this in a welcoming community close to schools, shopping and Woodland Creek Park and Playground.
The Qualicum plans are on Arranwood Drive on Lots 26 and 24 in Phase 3C starting at $422,900 net GST included. Built by registered licensed builder, SC Smith Building Company, featuring a 2-5-10 New Home Warranty and supported by the award winning Totangi Properties customer service. Occupancy Fall 2016.

2012 Gold CARE Award winner for Best New Subdivision, Woodland Creek is a residential neighbourhood of new homes in the heart of Sooke, British Columbia – a waterfront community near Victoria BC. A planned residential community, Woodland Creek was designed with the objective of providing a wide range of new housing opportunities for the community; close to schools, parks and the Sooke shopping and service core with the fundamental commitments of quality construction, lasting value and the long-term commitment of an established local developer.
As we start construction on the 5 remaining geothermal lots at Woodland Creek in the town of Sooke, a waterfront community close to Victoria BC, we can truly say that the innovative approach we took to new home construction has paid off. It has paid off for the homeowners, the environment, the community, and our employees and trades.
Homeowners that purchased the first new homes 4 years ago were risk takers. As early adopters they were willing to try something relatively new. While an established technology elsewhere in the world, individual geothermal or geoexchange systems for single family homes was fairly new to Vancouver Island and definitely a first in Sooke. These homeowners have now benefited from lower energy consumption (over $1,000 per year) and a cleaner, greener, and healthier living environment. Their investment in a geothermal home will increase their resale value and will continue to pay financial and environmental dividends into the future.
The community of Sooke and environment have benefited from a leading edge residential subdivision with a smaller carbon foot print. With an average reduction in energy consumption of about 11,000 kilowatts per home, together each year, homeowners in the subdivision have consumed over 300,000 kilowatts hours less in energy and reduced carbon emissions by 210 tonnes. Imagine that in 10 years the subdivision will have saved 3 million kilowatt hours of energy – that’s 3 megawatts!
Our employees and participating trades have had a long term education in new technology and building green. By using the geothermal systems and employing Built Green accreditation and Energuide rating along with waste reduction, sorting, and recycling, everyone one has been part of a journey of continual improvement. We continue to see this with our team as we adopt new building techniques, use new materials, and adapt to the introduction of the new building code.
We took a risk as a developer to invest in an expensive geothermal project, but we think we have achieved a triple bottom line return socially, environmentally, and financially – and that’s made it all the worthwhile.
Here’s a look back at the start of it all….
Here are 5 key benefits of a Geothermal System.
Lower Operating Costs – Because geothermal systems operate more efficiently than ordinary heating and air conditioning systems, annual operating costs are in the range of 30% to 60% lower then other heating and cooling systems. Geothermal operating costs are approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of electric baseboard heat.
Environmentally Friendly – Geothermal systems eliminate the combustion of fossil fuels on site and dramatically reduce the need to generate power – thereby lowering emissions of greenhouse gases and the environmental damage associated with non-renewable resource extraction.
Comfort – Because geothermal systems use the relatively stable temperature of the earth as an energy source, you are assured of constant, even heating in winter and better humidity control in the summer. Geothermal systems eliminate the need for exhaust venting, reducing the number of penetrations in the building envelope and improving weather tightness.
Safety – No flame, no flue, no odours, no risk from carbon monoxide. Just safe, reliable operation year after year.
Quiet – The completely self-contained indoor equipment does not need a noisy, unsightly outside condensing unit. Geothermal systems are quiet and discrete. Other than the lower energy bills, you will hardly know they are there
