Important Considerations
- What the listing leaves out. Some of the highest-end communities charge fees at purchase that are not in the listing data — one charges 0.33% of the price at closing. Ask me which apply to a home you are considering.
- Property taxes. The tax figure on a listing is the seller’s bill, not yours. A home is reassessed when it sells, so your bill will usually be higher.
- Insurance. Elevation, the roof’s age and shape, and storm protection over windows and doors (impact glass, or rated shutters or screens) largely decide what insurance costs.
