Beware! 13 Extra Costs
13 Extra Costs to Be Aware of Before Buying a Home
Avoid Last-Minute Financial Surprises at Closing
Whether you're buying your first home or upgrading to your next one, it's important to look beyond just the purchase price when calculating what you can truly afford. One of the most common—and costly—mistakes buyers make is overlooking the additional expenses that come with purchasing a home.
These extra costs can include:
One-time fees like inspections, appraisals, and closing costs
Ongoing obligations like property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees
Smaller items that add up—such as moving costs, utility transfers, and home maintenance needs
Some of these expenses are predictable, while others vary depending on the type of home, location, and financing structure. But the bottom line is this: not being prepared for these extras can turn your dream home into a financial headache.
