🏡 Thinking about buying a new construction home in Sacramento or the Greater Sacramento area? Before you sign with the builder, make sure you understand the costs that rarely make it into the sales presentation. Many buyers focus on the base price but are surprised by expenses like: ✔️ Lot premiums ✔️ Design center upgrades ✔️ Closing costs ✔️ HOA fees ✔️ Property taxes ✔️ Mello-Roos and community assessments ✔️ Landscaping and backyard costs ✔️ Window coverings ✔️ Appliances and move-in expenses Understanding these hidden costs can save you thousands of dollars and help you build a realistic budget before you purchase your new home.
