Welcome in this episode, we tackle the reality that relocation budgets often balloon with hidden costs, leaving families blindsided by surprise charges during their move to Calgary. Moving to a new city is a major investment, and our goal is to help you relocate confidently without the "sticker shock" that comes from poor planning.
In this video, we break down common hidden expenses, including:
• Utility Set-Ups & Deposits: Why gas, electricity, internet, and water providers may require upfront activation fees.
• Closing Adjustments: Understanding how prepaid property taxes or condo fees can add hundreds to your final bill.
• Moving Day Extras: How packing materials, additional truck hours, and heavy-item surcharges quickly inflate costs.
• Temporary Housing & Storage: The financial impact of delays in possession dates.
• Insurance & Permits: The "small" costs that add up, such as moving permits and elevator bookings for condos.
According to the sources, utilities make up approximately 35% of typical hidden relocation costs in Calgary, followed by moving fees at 30%, deposits at 20%, and insurance at 15%. By identifying these potential costs before moving day, you can keep your transition stress-free.
