First-time home buyers in Frisco
For first-time home buyers in Frisco, a townhome can be a lower-priced way in. It puts you close to Frisco's shopping, dining and jobs at a lower price than the single-family homes in its master-planned communities.
What I'll walk you through
Your real monthly number, including HOA dues, which matter a lot with townhomes. The Buyers Representation Document and state-required disclosures. Earnest money (typically about 1%) and the option fee (usually around $150 to $200), both held by the title company. Then the option period, inspection, repairs and closing at the title company. See first-time buyers.
