Your down payment is only part of the money you may need to buy a home.
Not every cost on this list applies to every buyer, and some depend on the property, the transaction, and whether you’re financing.
• Appraisal and loan costs apply to financed purchases.
• Survey is typically relevant for single-family homes and townhomes, not condos.
• Association fees only apply when the property is part of an association.
• Prepaid taxes & insurance depend on the transaction and closing structure.
• Inspection, closing costs, and moving/repairs can apply whether you finance or pay cash.
The point? Don’t budget for just your down payment. Know your total cash-to-close and the additional expenses that may come with the property.
If we haven’t met, hi, I’m Anna. I help buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowners in the Miami market make smarter real estate decisions by handling both the property and the financing under one roof.
My approach is direct, analytical, and built around your numbers, not the market hype.
