In addition to your down payment and closing costs, there are several other expenses to consider before and after you move into your new home! Here’s a breakdown:

Before You Move In
✅ Closing Costs – Usually 2-5% of the home price, covering fees like lender charges, title insurance, and inspection costs.
✅ Home Inspections & Appraisals – Necessary for verifying the home's condition and value before finalizing your purchase.
✅ Moving Costs – Don’t forget about moving trucks, packing supplies, and moving company fees.

After You Move In
✅ Home Repairs/Upgrades – You might find repairs are needed immediately (new paint, minor fixes), or want to update rooms to fit your style.
✅ Utility Setup & Deposits – Setting up electricity, water, gas, and internet may require initial deposits.
✅ Furnishing & Decorations – Settling into your new space might include new furniture, curtains, or other home essentials.
