Homeownership comes with expenses beyond the mortgage payment. A common rule of thumb is to budget about 1% to 2% of your home's value each year for maintenance and repairs, although the right amount depends on the home's age, condition, climate, and major systems.You may not spend that amount every year, but setting money aside creates a reserve for things like HVAC repairs, plumbing problems, appliances, roofing, and routine upkeep.Regular maintenance can also prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones. If you'd like a list of maintenance items homeowners should keep on their radar, contact me. I'm always happy to be a real estate resource.
