In addition to the purchase price, relocation buyers should plan for closing costs, inspections, lender fees if financing, escrow and title fees, property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees. Relocation also adds moving expenses, travel, temporary housing, furnishings, and setup costs for a new home. Buyers should also consider ongoing costs such as maintenance, landscaping, and community-related expenses. Budgeting for the full picture prevents surprises during an already busy transition.
