Home warranty?
So you are getting ready to buy/close on a new house. You are offered a home warranty, do you get it? You had an inspection, you saw the house, you have a "good" feeling. What do you do? Well it is up to you. A warranty is a nice feature to have and can be renewable for years after the initial time frame lapses. It is a personal choice and I get one when I buy a new house. Who knows when the furnace will go out, or the water heater peters out, or the dishwasher, washer or dryer. Most of the plans out there offer coverage and the difference between getting a home warranty and repairing/replacing one of these items can be great. Home warranty? For me, absolutely. Your choice.
