Buyer Bulletin: Costs of Suburban Living

For potential home-buyers coming from the city to the ‘burbs, be cautious when using online calculators to determine your monthly living expenses. Most importantly, they may not account for the actual property taxes you’d be paying for the home at issue, which can be a huge expensive you need to understand accurately. Beyond that, online calculators do not account for things like:

1. Cost of childcare in the ‘burbs

2. Home maintenance and regular home repairs

3. Actual utility costs

4. Landscaping and snow removal

5. A car/transportation to the city

6. Necessary insurance
