I am still saving to buy a home, so I never paid for everything myself. I know that there are a lot of different factors involved such as where you live and such, but what are all of the "hidden" costs involved in owning a home in the US? For example, mandatory insurance, HOA, electric, water, taxes, etc. I basically want to know how much more money I need to factor in when buying a house. Thanks.

In the UK the main costs are:

Stamp duty
mortgage fees
moving costs
insurances
legal costs
broker costs
Estate agent fee (if selling as well)

There could be more but these are the main ones.
