We pay our taxes with our monthly mortgage payment. What kind of fees is he talking about?
Sadly, house buying is all about the haggling, which we were shocked to discover. Basically, you try to offer what YOU think it's worth. We ended up paying the asking price and were bummed about it because we'd originally offered much less. I try to tell myself that when we sat down to make the offer we were expecting to pay the full price, but it still burns.
Basically, if you haggle on nothing else, haggle on a house. I sure could done with having a mortgage $15K less than what we have. It matters.
