Buying a Home? Don’t Just Focus on the Price Tag!

The purchase price and down payment are just the beginning. To truly understand what you can afford, you need to factor in all the costs—both upfront and long-term.

🔹 Plan for more than just the mortgage. HOA fees, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance can add up fast.
🔹 Have a buffer fund. Unexpected repairs or rising costs shouldn’t catch you off guard.
🔹 Get preapproved. Knowing your max loan amount helps set realistic expectations.
🔹 Check your monthly budget. Can you comfortably cover mortgage payments and everyday expenses?

The best thing in the Sears catalog?? A house!

Back in the early 1900s, Sears wasn’t just selling tools and appliances—they were shipping entire houses through the mail. For a few hundred bucks, you could order a DIY home kit straight from the Sears catalog, assemble it like the world’s biggest lego project, and boom—you had a house.
