Stay Put or Buy Up?

Compare your monthly costs of buying a larger home to your current monthly costs of staying in your current home.

In calculating the transaction cost percentage, please bear in mind that transaction costs typically include agent commissions, title fees, escrow fees, local transfer taxes, legal fees, and all other miscellaneous charges customarily paid by the seller in your area. These fees typically total 10% of the home selling price, but can vary widely depending on your location.
