What are the hidden costs of home ownership?

Am I adding up all the costs associated with my purchase? There are many things to consider. Some of them are not associated with the mortgage. Things such as:

- Taxes (Which average nation wide average $2600 annually)

- Insurance (Which average $1300 annually if you don’t live in Florida)

- Utilities (How energy efficient is my home?)

There are things that I should know before I purchase a home. Things that can affect your insurance and utility bills.
