Are Home Warranties Worth It?

You know your house is a wonderful place to call home, but some buyers may need a little more convincing. Many sellers offer a home warranty at the get-go to ease anxious minds.
⁣
Q: Should sellers offer a home warranty?⁣
⁣
A: The short answer: Yes. ⁣
⁣
Here’s why:⁣
⁣
🔸 A home warranty protects your buyer from unexpected repairs and replacements for a year after closing. Buying a home can be stressful so any added layer of protection you can provide will always be warmly received.⁣ Especially if some of the systems in your home are older, this can really give buyers a piece of mind.

🔸 The average price of a home warranty is $300 to $600 a year. If a couple of hundred bucks are all it takes to secure the sale, it’s a completely worthwhile investment.⁣

🔸 Most home warranties include coverage while your home is on the market. The warranty is then transferred to the buyer for a year of coverage on the closing date.
