Home Buying Budget: Expenses Above & Beyond Your Down Payment
Working out your home-buying budget before you begin shopping for your new home is essential. After all, nobody wants to waste time touring homes for sale in Las Vegas only to discover they cannot afford to buy their dream home. So what goes into working out an accurate home-buying budget? Budgeting for the down payment is the big-ticket expense home buyers tend to think of first, but there are other out-of-pocket expenses you're likely to face during the home-buying process. Our REALTORS® have created this list of some of the additional fees you should include in your home-buying budget:
- Inspection Fees
When you find the house that you want to be your new home, you will need to schedule at least one professional inspection to ensure that you have a reliable assessment of its condition. This is done after you have made an offer on a home and that offer has been accepted by the seller and is an essential step in protecting your interests. It is also often required by lenders to protect their interests. A general inspection of the home is the first step. If potential problems are found, other inspections may be necessary, such as a once-over from a termite specialist, for instance, or a perhaps sewer inspection. Depending upon your particular circumstances, you may spend anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand dollars or more on inspections.
