Free: Homeownership Cost Planner – General Edition

Buying a home involves more than the monthly mortgage payment. This practical planning tool helps you think through the everyday costs that can come with homeownership before you make a purchase decision.

Use this planner to organize and consider expenses such as utilities, maintenance, repairs, insurance, property-related costs, and other ongoing household expenses that may affect your monthly budget.

This general edition is designed to help home buyers look beyond the purchase price and build a more complete picture of what owning a home may cost.

What’s included:

• Easy-to-follow homeownership cost categories

• Space to estimate expected monthly and annual expenses

• A practical worksheet for planning and discussion

• A simple format you can save, print, and revisit as your plans change

Ideal for first-time buyers or anyone who wants to think more carefully about the ongoing costs of owning a home.
