Ever set out to buy a Santa Clarita home and wonder if you can lose more than your deposit? Or perhaps you’re not thinking so cynically, and you simply want to know if there are other costs, perhaps not refundable outside of your deposit.

Yes, There Are Non-Refundable Costs When Buying A Santa Clarita Home

Here’s a few:

  • Home Inspection

  • Home Appraisal

  • HOA Docs if charged to buyer in the purchase contract

Of course everything is negotiable, but the above are very common costs that you’ll incur when buying a home in Santa Clarita, and if you happened to cancel your transaction for whatever reason, you wouldn’t get the above items reimbursed in most cases.

Is buying a home worth the risk of losing about $1,000? That’s an approx total for items I noted above. Could be more, could be less… but is a number like $1,000 worth losing? When it comes to your future home, and working to make that home happen? I think so!
