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.

No Greater Love

In my marriage, I grew cold and distant, I was dark emptiness taking up a small space. When the marriage inevitably ended, I was left wondering if I was capable of love at all. Wondering if my coldness led to the death of something great for many people. Since then I've tried a few tepid attempts at love, with each trial showing me new errors. People say, "You just haven't met the right person yet," but that isn't true. Relationships fail not because there is some mystical magical right person out there for each of us but rather because we are human and being human means failing sometimes. (Of course, just because there is no "right one" that doesn't mean there aren't wrong ones. There are after all a few truly terrible people mucking about in the world but these are the exceptions, not the rule.) I am currently a failure at relationships, but with each failure, I learn and grow, and eventually, I will be a fantastic success at one relati...

One Day at a Time

 Growing up in Utah, I had classes broaching subjects like episiotomies, lamaze, and more. Needless to say while I didn't want kids, I had my birth plan ready to the letter all the i's dotted and t's crossed. I planned a relaxed at home delivery with my birth partner in a tub of purified water, dim lights and the sounds of the ocean playing over a pre recorded sound track of my heart beat. I wanted erotic stimulation if labor stalled. I wanted delayed cord clamping and UV lights on the ready with an infant eye mask.  With Res out of the picture, some of that obviously went out the window. As my due date came and went, my pre labor continued. Two weeks of contractions starting and stopping. Alone in a hotel room (chosen for its location relative to a hospital with a level five NICU and not for the black mold growing inside the bathroom or drug addicts in the hallways or gun shots down the street) I kept asking myself how I was going to do this. How was I ...

Divorce: A Journey to Total Happiness

Your plans lay shattered in a million pieces. You're walking around with a gaping hole smashed in your chest from the words that ripped out your heart. You can barely breathe.  I remember those first three months vividly. I'd failed my marriage, my husband and myself. My dreams of being a perfect wife, of having the best marriage ever, all went perfectly to hell. Despite how many times I'd fantasized about leaving my husband and how awful my marriage was every inch of my body felt flayed, bruised and every bone broken.  Each nerve ending cried with a desperate need to be touched and held. Any vague reminder of my marriage, my spouse, was like getting kicked in the gut by a Clydesdale.  Three years later I look back and know it was all worth it, every excruciating moment.  The living torment led me to paths I never would have otherwise taken.  Desperate to escape the thoughts torturing my mind I delved into sleep hypnosis, audiobooks on relationships, communica...
