Save For Closing Costs
While saving for a down payment should be a top priority, put aside some money (generally 1.5 to 4% of the home purchase price) to cover future closing costs.
These are legal and administrative fees paid at the closing of a real estate transaction and generally range from 1.5% to 4% of the selling price. It is important to save for these expenses in advance to buying a home, so you’re not in the red when it is time to close on your home.
