Debunking the Homebuyer Myth: It’s More Than Just Your Mortgage Payment

Many first-time homebuyers fall into the trap of thinking their only ongoing cost will be their mortgage. While the mortgage is a big part of homeownership, it’s important to remember there are other expenses that come with owning a home. Property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and HOA fees, for example, can add up. And let’s not forget about routine maintenance, repairs, and utility bills!

By planning for these additional costs, you can ensure a smoother transition into homeownership. At JD PDX Real Estate, we’re here to help guide you through what to expect financially, ensuring that you’re not caught off guard by the hidden costs. Our goal is to help you plan, prepare, and make informed decisions, so you can enjoy your new home with confidence.
