Todd and Oana recommend that you get a home warranty after you buy a buy. Bottom line is that you need a home warranty unless your home is very new, and you have already lived in the house for a year. Getting a home warranty is important to fix things that may have broken in the home like plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and even appliances and pool equipment. In many cases, it is worth it to get a warranty on a home.
Todd and Oana share some tips on how to use a home warranty to get the most out of it. If you have purchased a new construction home, it probably already comes with a warranty, so you might not need to buy a separate one. We try to always provide one with any listings that we sell, just to make it easier on the buyer for the first year after they buy their house.
