Information contained here is broad general knowledge and a professional should be consulted.
 

Home warranties may be a good idea for some new home buyers. It usually covers most major items and new home owners can have peace of mind. It lowers your risk of having problems.

The most important and costly things to repair on a house and to look for problems are the roof, furnance, water heater and central air.

It is a benefit for the buyer:
A) during home inspection process
B) pro active negotiation offer because of age of applainces etc
C) think of it as the same as buying a car warranty
D) peace of mind on major home working applainces.

There are some caps and limits on applainces so one should read the warranties in detal.
Home warranty companies also usually charge a service trade fee of $100 per trade (electric / plumber for example)

A home warranty can help negotiations and you can gain a competitive advantage to save deals from home inspection problems.

Replacements always match performance and you can always upgrade to better and pay the difference in cost and even buy your own applainance and get reimbursed
