What does the home cost the family each month?

The cost of waiting is easier to evaluate when it is written down. Build a monthly total that includes:

1. Mortgage payment.
2. Property taxes.
3. Homeowners insurance.
4. Utilities.
5. Gardening and security.
6. Association dues.
7. Urgent maintenance.

Then list one-time or less frequent costs that can affect the plan: cleanout, legal or court expenses, permit work, and repairs.

This calculation does not decide whether the family should sell. It gives the authorized decision-makers a practical basis for comparing waiting, preparing the property, and selling as-is.
