Many homeowners have anxiety when it comes to maintaining their home, a survey shows. Here’s a breakdown of the top projects.
Seventy-eight percent of homeowners say they have buyer’s remorse over purchasing their home within the last 12 months, mostly because of unexpected repair costs, according to a survey from Hippo, a home insurance group. Proactive home maintenance, however, can help ward off many repair nightmares.
After all, two-thirds of homeowners who experienced a repair issue admit the problem could’ve been prevented with proactive maintenance, another Hippo survey finds. Further, 67% say unexpected home issues have affected their mental health, and 63% say the problems have affected their relationships.
Courtney Klosterman, a home insights expert at Hippo, offers the following breakdown of home maintenance projects to help lessen stress.
