Whether you’re planning to buy a house or want to build your home, you’ll likely run into many factors that quickly add up your costs. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you navigate the price of buying vs. building a home. How much does it cost to buy a house? How much does it cost to build a house? We'll weigh the two to help you make a decision.
How much does it cost to buy a house?

If you’re planning to buy a house, you might wonder how much it will cost and if it is cheaper than building from the ground up.
Working with a real estate agent
Before you buy a house, you’ll need to work with a real estate agent. While having an agent to buy a home is not required, a realtor can make filing the paperwork and negotiating costs much more manageable. Real estate agents make an average of 5% to 6% of the sale value. For a $400,000 home, you might expect to pay an agent or for the agent to get $20,000 to $24,000.
Closing costs
The average closing costs on a home are 2% to 6%, according to NerdWallet. This is made in addition to the down payment on a house, so be sure to budget accordingly, so you can cover the closing costs at the point of sale. While some fees can be negotiated or added to your loan, others will need to be made when you put the home in your name.
Interest rate and down payment
Interest rate and down payment are also two things to consider when buying a home. Interest rates vary depending on your credit score, location, home cost, and other local factors. Additionally, it’s recommended that you put down 5% to 20% on a home when you buy.
Inspection and renovation costs
You’ll want to pay a contractor for inspections to ensure your new home is in good condition and meets the required building codes in your area. It’s the buyer’s responsibility to pay for a home inspection, and these costs are typically covered out of pocket.

If you’ve ever stood by an old single-pane window on a cold day, you may have noticed that the cold passes right through it. That’s because glass is a poor insulator, allowing virtually free heat exchange. Similarly, your wood or metal garage door becomes like a wall of ice on freezing cold days, and that cold transfers into the rest of the house. Additionally, your home’s heat escapes through the uninsulated garage door. So, how do you insulate a garage door?

To make your garage more comfortable and save money on your energy bills, you can block out the cold. Follow along as we walk you through the process.
