Factors That Can Affect Your Kentucky Mortgage Calculations

Price of Housing

The price of homes in Kentucky can vary depending on the geography and the general desirability of the housing market. As they say, it's all about location, location, location. So it's always best to identify the specific cities in Kentucky you want to purchase a home in to get a better sense of average home prices in your preferred area of Kentucky.

Closing Costs in Kentucky

The price of your closing costs factors in your home inspection, appraisal, and origination costs, along with title insurance and courier fees. Some of these costs, such as retaining a lawyer and title insurance, you have the ability to shop around for. Other expenses including obtaining your credit report are not up to your discretion.

Your lender is obligated to show you a Loan Estimate within three days of submitting your loan application which breaks down your closing costs. You should be aware of how much you could end up paying well before this point, however.

Overall, you can expect to pay between 2-5% of your home's value in closing costs.

Other Kentucky Costs That Can Affect Kentucky Mortgage Calculations

Kentucky Home Warranty

A home warranty can cover many of the parts and components of your home's plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems, and other home appliances. Whereas home insurance covers you for damages and loss due to unexpected disasters such as fire and weather damage, it won't do anything for your broken-down washing machine. Home warranties ensure your appliances and vital systems do not break down due to normal wear and tear.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of home warranty providers serving Kentucky.

Home Insurance in Kentucky

When shopping around for home insurance in Kentucky, watch out for how much coverage you need based on the structure of your home, your personal belongings coverage, liability protection, and coverage for your living expenses.

The actual amount you will pay in insurance will vary depending on your provider and where you live.
