There have been a lot of discussions on this board about both living and buying costs.
If you have searched through these postings I do not think you should find any big problems. However I would set a side at least 1% of your purchase price for misc items. Consider using a home inspector and an attorney in addition to a Realtor. These will add a few thousand to your costs. If you age getting a mortgage then more costs. If you have a problem selling your home you could end up with months of owning two homes and the related expense.
