When you’re buying a new house, unexpected issues or repairs after closing are a huge concern. Once you sign the paperwork and have the keys in hand, anything that goes wrong with the house is now your problem — and your responsibility. Having a home warranty can mitigate some of those concerns because it will protect your time and wallet when unexpected home system and appliance breakdowns occur.
As a seller, having a home warranty during the listing period can also be a good idea. Selling a house is stressful enough as it is, and if you’re paying two mortgage payments while you wait for your house to sell, you don’t have any wiggle room to pay for unexpected repair and replacement costs. Having a home warranty also makes your home more appealing to buyers. It gives them confidence that if a covered breakdown happens, they'll have a plan in place.
