When most homebuyers consider what owning a future property will cost them, one of the most important factors that comes to mind is the cost of utilities. If you are a homebuyer in our Jonesboro market, what can you expect to pay in utilities for your future home?
Within the Jonesboro city limits, City Water & Light is the company that provides water, electricity, and waste management to all residents, and they charge 5.5 cents per kilowatt-hour. To put that into perspective, the national average is 13 cents per kilowatt hour. In other words, we pay about one-third of what the majority of people pay in utilities.
Overall, our seasonal weather pattern does not fall under any extremes. We usually stay between 70 and 80 degrees most of the year. This means a family of four living inside a 2,500 square foot house can expect to pay roughly a couple hundred dollars per month in utilities.
We pay about one-third of what the majority of people pay in utilities.
Outside of Jonesboro city limits, residents fall under Craighead County jurisdiction, which charges closer to the national average for utilities. If you live outside of city limits, this means you will have to make sure you are more energy efficient as a homeowner.
If you are looking to buy a property in our marketplace, we can provide you with a 12-month history of that property so you can get a good idea of what it will cost you.
