Arrrgh....are "home warranties" common in your area? They are here; almost all realtors have the seller buy a one year policy which covers a whole bunch of stuff...cost is maybe a bit over 400 bucks.
My homeowner’s warranty only covers appliances, the furnace, things like that.
Not sure the home warranty was that great. Shortly after moving in to our new home, our hot water tank went out and it was like 9 degrees outside. We had to wait two weeks to get the thing repaired. I thought I was going to die! We had to go with the person that was referred to us by the warranty people. They still didn’t pay for all of it.
