What Are the Hidden Costs of Buying a Home?

Beyond the purchase price, expect closing costs of 2-5% of the loan amount, home inspection $400-600, appraisal $500-800, moving costs, immediate repairs, HOA fees if applicable, and higher utility bills. In Washington State, budget an additional $15,000-25,000 beyond your down payment. An experienced agent helps you anticipate and negotiate many of these costs.
