An honest breakdown of all expenses associated with purchasing a home, beyond just the price tag.Are you thinking about buying a home? Congratulations! There is no doubt that buying kicks off a flurry of activity, but before you start your search it is important to understand just how much it will cost you, right? Some surprises are fun, but surprise expenses are NOT! Let’s talk about all the possible costs you may incur as a buyer so that you budget accordingly. This is a rough guide. Some of these expenses will apply to you, while others will not. The amount of each expense will vary based on several factors such as the age of the home, the price of the home, the state of the market, and more. If you want numbers specific to your circumstances, you will find our contact information at the end of this guide. We are happy to walk you through these calculations, minimize your expenses, and get you into the home of your dreams! Please keep in mind, this list does not include your down payment. You will need to account for that separately.
