Who makes more money on Real Estate than developers?

We have all heard how developers are greedy, but ever wonder who makes the most money on a real estate development?  Local, provincial and federal governments, that’s who!

According to CMHC, fees and charges account for 20% of the price of a new condo apartment.  Want proof?  Check out CMHC confirms government costs raise new home prices – Western Investor

The report further states that a typical developer’s profit on a new condo project is estimated at between 10% and 15%.

It seems to me that if the various governments want to really improve affordability they could take a lower cut.  The federal government could raise the GST thresholds, or eliminate them for first-time buyers.  The provincial government could raise the threshold for first-time buyers to $750,000, matching the threshold for PTT exemption on new construction, and local governments could give property tax relief for first-time buyers.

Just saying!

Enjoy the rest of summer, thanks as always for the support.
