Check my logic: Factoring in the cost of garage parking

Hey!

I am currently considering two homes in a large/densely populated city. Home #1 is considerably cheaper but does not have a garage. It can be tough finding street parking so I may have to pay monthly in a local garage which costs 280$/mo. Home #2 is about 100K more expensive, but is in a much "nicer" part of town and also has an attached garage.

If you work out the math, 280$ monthly works out to a 30 year mortgage 100.8K (280 x 12 x 30). So not having to pay for parking can help me afford a home 100K more expensive. I'm leaning toward going for Home #2.

Is my logic flawed??? Your thoughts/criticisms would be appreciated.

​

Thanks!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
