Again, and again, and again. The total cost of a home purchase = Asking price + any other liens attaching to the property. End. Real Estate sales people will often try to convince you otherwise. EX . Purchase price $250,000 , bond balance $15,000 , Total price paid for home = $265,000 (Trust me). Purchase price $250,000 , no bond , total consideration (price) $250,000......
