Tips for Buying

How much does that home really cost?

A $200,000 home costs more than a $185,000 home, right?  Yes and no. Assuming the same type of financing for both homes, the $200,000 home does cost more initially. But many factors contribute to the overall long-term cost of a house. Here are some things to keep in mind when trying to determine the true cost of purchasing a particular home:

• Does it have a pool or hot tub that requires maintenance?

• How much yard maintenance is required and who will perform it?

• Are there trees that should be removed?

• What are the utility costs? Although your usage won´t be exactly the same

as the current owners, you may be able to get their utility bills for the past

year from them or directly from the utility company.

• How soon will the roof need to be replaced?

• Does the house need repainting?

• Does the electrical system need upgrading to handle the load for your appliances and electronics?

• Does the home have aluminum wiring, lead-based paint, or other safety or health hazards
you will want to address?

• Does the house need new carpeting or flooring?

• What remodeling projects do you see as a must?

• Will appliances need replacing? What items convey?

• What are the estimated property taxes for the property?

Also, be sure to get a professional inspection to identify other potentially costly problem areas
