New home sales went up in August, and the median new home price was below where it sat a year ago. Buyers move when the monthly cost improves. That is the whole story in one line.
Two numbers decide what a house really costs you each month. The mortgage payment, which you are quoted to the dollar. And the power bill, which nobody puts in the listing.
On some homes that second number can be restructured when you buy: owned solar financed inside the FHA mortgage, so part of what you were going to hand the utility goes toward something you own instead. The home closes first. The PowerKit goes on after.
Not every home produces a Power Flip™.
