Ready to buy your first home in NJ? Things you should know. 🏡😊

1) Down payment 💰
The chunk of money you pay upfront but not the only cash you bring to the table.

2) Closing costs ✅
The extra costs to actually get the keys: lender fees, title, attorney, recording fees, and more.

3) Appraisal & inspection 🔎
Appraisal checks value.
Inspection checks condition.
Both are your out-of-pocket expenses before closing.

4) Escrow 📘
Think of it as a “safe middleman” account that holds deposits or your taxes/insurance until they’re due.

5) Property taxes 🌆
Paid to your NJ town/county every year (often built into your monthly mortgage payment).

6) Homeowners insurance 🏡🛡️
Covers damage to your home and sometimes your belongings. Lenders require it.
