When buying a new home, many home buyers get stuck on the purchase price of the home and forget about the hidden costs. If you are planning to purchase a new home in Minnetonka, Orono, Edina, Wayzata, Maple Grove or another city in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul area, don’t forget about these hidden costs of owning that home when you set your monthly budget. Otherwise, you could end up in a home that is more than you can actually afford.
