It depends on whether the property is for investment or residence.

Honestly, most buyers focus heavily on the purchase price and monthly payments but rarely calculate long-term maintenance expenses until after moving in.

I don’t think most buyers pay enough attention to maintenance costs. Many focus entirely on the purchase price and overlook the ongoing expenses that come with owning a property.
