Every time you ignore basic home maintenance, you risk devaluing your home.

Proactive homeownership includes budgeting for expected and unexpected house expenses, such as a yearly A/C checkup and gutter cleaning.

At a minimum, experts recommend that you set aside 1% of your home’s value for routine upkeep.

For older or more expensive homes, expect to set aside 4%.

By taking a few weekends each season to keep up on household projects, you’ll be able to prevent major damage caused by delayed maintenance.

Even though most online home value calculators use the same data sources, their proprietary algorithms weigh various factors differently.

This means that the prices coming out of the individual calculators can vary by SEVERAL percentage points!

For an off-market home with an estimated value of $350,000, relying entirely on online calculators means the price could be off by as much as $25,000. 😱

🟡 Pro-tip: Instead of taking the virtual calculators at face value, average three different estimates together to get a starting point for your home’s value.
