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.
