A Well Maintained Home

What does it mean when a home is described as “well maintained”? Does it have the latest light fixtures, quartz countertops and luxury vinyl flooring? Not necessarily. Regardless of the age of the home or its owner, a well maintained home stands out to buyers. And, it’s a pleasure to live in a home that’s well taken care of too!

If you are currently searching for a home or making a plan to keep/get your current home in great shape, there are some key categories to consider. Start with establishing an annual home maintenance budget. According to Forbes Magazine, a good annual budget for maintenance and repairs is 1-4% of your home’s value.
