Hidden Costs of Buying a Home You Should Know
Buying a home is one of the most exciting — and expensive — steps in life. But beyond the down payment, there are other costs to budget for:
-
Home Inspection & Appraisal Fees – These ensure your new home is worth the price.
-
Closing Costs – Typically 2–5% of your loan amount, covering lender, title, and escrow fees.
-
Property Taxes & Insurance – Often included in your monthly payment but can vary by area.
-
HOA Fees – Common in many Orlando communities; they can impact your monthly budget.
-
Maintenance & Utilities – New homeowners often underestimate these ongoing costs.
Knowing what to expect helps you plan smarter and avoid surprises when you get the keys to your dream home.
