home warranties that's the topic of my next video
[3]
all they worth the money or are they not you'll have to wait and see
[15]
hello everybody home warranties are they worth the money that's what we're
[19]
talking about right now basically what is a home warranty for those who have no
[25]
idea a home warranty is a warranty that covers your house some of them are
[31]
included when you buy the house so it will protect the buyer particularly on
[36]
an old property it covers the major mechanical systems like your boiler your
[41]
a/c system some of them might include your
[44]
electrical system and a whole other array of appliances and things the more
[49]
usually you include they have you know the gold plan the silver plan the
[53]
platinum plan the higher the plan the more the money the more things that are
[60]
covered in the house but is it worth it let's do a little math and let's figure
[64]
it out basically when you buy the warranty you can either pay monthly you
[69]
can pay yearly a lot of them include a service call fee they also some of them
[75]
have deductibles so after it's all said and done is it really really worth the
[79]
money well first there's so many companies out there which makes
[83]
competition really good and also means that you have to do your research before
[89]
you go and move foe with any company if it's included with the price or if it's
[94]
included with the sale of your house if you purchased a house and it already has
[97]
it make sure that that price didn't before you bought the house make sure
[101]
that the price wasn't elevated to reflect that you are purchasing that
[106]
home warranty so make sure you speak to your realtor that's representing you and
[110]
know your comps and if it is then that's something you can negotiate on your
[116]
particular deal before you close maybe you don't want it maybe you want to know
[120]
the company so do your research where can you do it well google it you get the
[125]
Better Business Bureau you got Department of Consumer Affairs you have
[129]
all these different rating systems that consumer ratings there's a lot out there
[134]
to help you do your due diligence when you shop for a home warranty determine
[141]
what you need you don't want to over warranty your house because it's not
[145]
going to be a cost-effective option and no
[148]
the average monthly cost is about fifty dollars a month so remember this is it
[152]
really worth buying a home warranty or can you take that fifty dollars a month
[157]
times 12 month 12 months a year put it in a savings account that's $600 a year
[163]
you have as an emergency funds for something fun for something breaking
[167]
down that $600 is not really that much money if you have your essential AC
[172]
system or you boil a break down but after two years you have 1200 plus
[177]
whatever interest you were able to find three years and four years down the line
[181]
you have more and more money saved up so you could either do it that way or you
[186]
can buy the home warranty the of your choice after you do your research and I
[191]
stress that because there's a lot of companies out there that people are not
[194]
happy with so I hope that gave you a little insight into the home warranty
