Housing affordability isn't just about your monthly mortgage or rent payment.  Utility bills can also add up.
Median spending on utilities is $2,715 per year - or $226 per month - for single-family homes, according to a new analysis from real estate website Trulia.  Even when you're comparing homes of similiar sizes and prices in the same region, it found, energy costs can vary widely based on factors like the local utility providers' rates, the age of your home and the size of the lot it sits on.
