Consider that Home Warrantyin your contract negotiations. I have seen 3 homes benefit from making that choice in the last 2 months. No, I am not a dealer for home warranties. I am a Realtor that has used what I believe exceptional home inspectors in my clients purchasing or selling their home. However, there are simply things that are not seen. The most recent that occurred was an L-pipe on the second floor bathroom that started to leak badly as my buyers were in their 2nd month of ownership. $1700 for the total job that included drywall on ceiling of the first floor. Another pipe related incident occurred when my buyers of another home had ceiling fan short out on a vaulted area of their family room.
These home warranties are not that all expensive (about $450-$600) and you can have the seller pay for it as part of the contract negotiations. They are usually renewable and can be a real pocket book saver.
Happy home ownership!
