Aside from paying a mortgage, taxes, HOA (if applicable), utilities, maintenance / repair, home insurance, PMI (if applicable).

In short, it’s a lot. Do your research before pulling the trigger.

I did but I know that you have to pay water bills, electricity, Gas, TV cable, etc. is there any other things I’m missing that I need to add??

There's electricity (Light)
Water (utility)
Trash & garden l
Good luck!¡

I would add that you get a tax benefit to own. A mortgage lender is not going to let you buy a house that you cannot afford. I would just make sure that your mortgage is FIXED, not adjustable.

Seeking some advice for home buying. Went under contract on a new construction back in March, was originally supposed to be ready in August but has been delayed until November. I’ve began getting quotes for mortgage rates through lenders and the best I’ve seen so far is 5.75% (excellent credit, dp at 10%) at a 60 day lock. Debating if I should test my luck with the market to see if rates will drop or if I should go ahead and lock my rate in before Rates increase even more

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

When do you know you've toured enough houses and should pick one from the list you've got? I've seen probably 15-20 homes, and put in one offer. How many homes should you tour minimum, and how many offers did you put in before you closed? I don't want to be too hasty and choose something just because, but I also think continuing to see homes isn't really making my decision any easier. Thanks!
