Hoping to better estimate cost of electricity for a similar sized home and also maid service costs. Thanks in advance for helping me with this. Best wishes.
If you are looking for premier home, you currently can not build, so would need a resale. Have your TV sales agent obtain the expenses from the owner. Don’t forget irrigation water....with our heat and if the home has zoysia that was used in southern half of TV, and size of lawn, could run $200+. Don’t just accept the published cost of living the brochure has listed, it will be higher. Then lawn care, fertilizers, & bugs $200-$300/ month. Cleaning $150+ per time for that size.
