Real Estate / by RAJ YUVA / 32 views
When you plan to buy a home, you must pay the seller an interest payment. This amount is your way of telling the seller that you are serious about buying the home and that you are not going to earn the seller’s trust and then go and buy another home. The interest payment is usually held in an escrow account handled by the buyer’s real estate agent, title company, or escrow company. If you can’t get a mortgage or decide to back out of the contract, you may lose that deposit, depending on how your contract is worded. The amount of interest money varies but is usually between 1 and 5% of the purchase price.The last hidden cost of home ownership is moving costs. This varies based on many factors, such as your location. If you want to hire professional packers to pack and unpack your boxes and furniture, it will cost extra. You should get a quote from a moving company to get an accurate estimate for your move.
