How Much Should Everett Buyers Budget for Repairs After Closing?

Written By Keith Bruce

The keys are yours—but repairs can happen sooner than expected. Water heaters, roofs, plumbing, and appliances can all create unexpected expenses. A good rule of thumb is to budget 1% to 3% of your home's value each year for maintenance and repairs. Keith Bruce with Sound Point Real Estate helps Everett buyers understand inspection results, plan ahead, and prepare for the true cost of homeownership before making an offer.
