You thought the down payment was it? Nope. Here’s the full damage report — sorry, no take-backs!
What are some costs you could have to pay beyond the down payment:
– Appraisal fees
– Home inspection (totally worth it)
– Title & escrow fees
– Lender fees (hi again — that’s us)
– Taxes and insurance (escrowed)
– Moving & day-one stuff (you need light bulbs and maybe a celebratory pizza)
Budget tip: Expect 2–5% of the home’s price on top of your down payment. Plan ahead — no one likes closing-day surprises.
