Are Home Warranties Worth it?


According to a Forbes Home survey of 1,000 homeowners conducted in 2023, nearly 70% thought that their current home warranty coverage was worth the price. With over 23% agreeing that their policy saves them an average of $200 to $300 per repair.

Home warranties offer several potential benefits to homeowners, providing them with peace of mind and financial protection against unexpected expenses related to home maintenance and repairs. Here are some of the key benefits of home warranties

1. **Homes with Warranties can SELL 11% to 50% FASTER** than homes without warranties. This range is relatively broad because the effect of a warranty on selling speed varies significantly depending on the local real estate market conditions, the specific features of the home, and the preferences of potential buyers.
In a competitive real estate market where buyers are looking for added assurances and peace of mind, offering a home warranty as part of the sale can make the property more attractive and appealing. Additionally, a home warranty can provide potential buyers with reassurance that they won't be immediately burdened with unexpected repair costs after purchasing the home, potentially making them more willing to move forward with the purchase.
Ultimately, while there isn't a precise percentage by which homes with warranties sell faster, having a warranty can be a valuable marketing tool that may help expedite the sale process and increase the likelihood of finding a buyer sooner.

2.**Financial Protection**: One of the primary benefits of a home warranty is financial protection against the cost of repairing or replacing major home systems and appliances. Instead of paying for costly repairs out of pocket, homeowners with a warranty pay a relatively small service fee per claim, potentially saving them thousands of dollars in repair expenses.

3. **Convenience**: Home warranties offer homeowners a convenient way to address unexpected breakdowns and malfunctions of home systems and appliances. Instead of having to search for a qualified contractor and negotiate repair costs, homeowners can simply contact their warranty provider to request service, often within a short timeframe.

4. **Comprehensive Coverage**: Home warranties typically cover a wide range of home systems and appliances, including HVAC systems, electrical systems, plumbing, water heaters, refrigerators, ovens, and more. This comprehensive coverage ensures that homeowners are protected against breakdowns and malfunctions of essential components of their home.

5. **Predictable Budgeting**: By purchasing a home warranty, homeowners can better manage their budget by knowing the maximum amount they will have to pay for covered repairs or replacements during the warranty period. This predictability can be especially beneficial for homeowners on a fixed income or tight budget.

6. **Access to Qualified Service Providers**: Home warranty companies typically have a network of pre-screened and qualified service providers, including contractors and technicians. This ensures that homeowners receive prompt and professional service from experienced professionals who can diagnose and repair issues efficiently.

7. **Peace of Mind**: Perhaps the most significant benefit of a home warranty is the peace of mind it provides to homeowners. Knowing that they are protected against unexpected home repairs and maintenance issues can alleviate stress and anxiety, allowing homeowners to focus on enjoying their home without worrying about costly surprises.

Overall, home warranties offer homeowners VALUABLE FINANACIAL PROTECTION, convenience, and peace of mind, making them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners, particularly those with older homes or aging systems and appliances. However, it's essential to carefully review the terms, coverage limits, and exclusions of a home warranty policy to ensure it meets your specific needs and provides adequate protection for your home.

Home warranty plans typically cover most major components of large home systems, such as your HVAC, water heaters, plumbing and electrical. Some plans cover appliances such as washers, dryers, refrigerators and electric stoves.

You can also purchase optional add-on coverage for your spa, second refrigerator, swimming pool, pumps, septic systems and more depending on how much you can pay for a home warranty.

 A home warranty is worth it for homeowners who seek peace of mind regarding their home’s appliances and systems. Whether you are buying a home or are simply concerned about the lifespan of your appliances or systems, we’ve found that home warranties are a great way to protect your investments and wallet if a significant repair is needed.

A Parent's Nightmare

It was supposed to be an ordinary day, but a feeling something was going to go horribly wrong kept me awake the night before. I waited six months, because the first time they mentioned the routine procedure and the risks I knew my daughter was going to end up dead, or brain damaged.  I thought I'd waited long enough. After six months I believed things would be ok.  I told myself to relax and stop being paranoid. I shouldn't have. The anesthesiologist with tears in his eyes told me, "I'm not going to lie, she's not doing good. This is the worst day of my career." He was thinking of his career while my little girl was fighting for her life!?  He felt bad so I said simply, "I know you tried your best," wondering if my happy sweet little girl would ever smile at me again. There was no point in making a scene. It wouldn't save her. It might kill her. I had to step back and breathe. I needed to focus on giving her all the love a

A Girl Can Dream, Right?

Preparing for the cruise, a whirlwind of excitement and anticipation courses through my veins. Amidst sapphire waves and ocean skies, I'm eager to meet with my teammates, especially one sexy beast I've been mentoring late at night, a little too often.  A single man secure enough in his masculinity to be sponsored by a woman he'd never met, it was more likely I'd win the lottery but it happened!  Men that secure, are  as rare as a million dollars popping out of thin air!  Finding one man who would just listen to my dream let alone believe in it and share it, up until him has been impossible... yeah I'm ready to go past first base and then some! As I finish packing, I can't help but indulge in a few tantalizing semi erotic fantasies. From our first conversation, strategizing his path to success, I was completely intoxicated by him. After months of working together, I'm still feeling an  undeniable connection that has nothing to do with business. His confidence

Dreaming of Death

I dreamed I died, my usable organs were donated, and the rest of me was fed to the birds. I requested before I died, those who received my organs would gather once a year to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I dreamed pieces of my flesh were sent out to wildlife sanctuaries around the world.  I dreamed each year, I could see my daughter with my eyes and she could feel my love surrounding her.  I dreamed I soared with eagles, dove into the sea with the ospreys, and traveled the world in ecstasy.  Gradually, I felt myself fading away into the darkness.  My daughter's birthday came again. I lived in her smile and warmth. Like a brilliant sun, she brought life back to the surface. My essence swirled around her, through her. She became my home. I lived in her joy, in her peace I rested. Trees grew from the soil marked with remnants of my flesh, I felt the sun on their leaves, and I felt the cool rich soil bathing their roots. I felt myself in rivers flowing free and wild, splashing
