Home warranties can be a smart bargaining chip because they solve different problems for each side: buyers get protection from surprise repair costs right after move-in, and sellers can use a warranty to make the deal feel safer (and easier) without dropping the price. The biggest value is when it’s positioned as a concession that reduces a buyer’s risk during the most expensive part of the process.
Neil Brooks, NewDay USA spokesperson, discussed how a home warranty can protect buyers from costly early repairs (like HVAC issues shortly after closing) and why it can also help sellers move a home faster by making the purchase feel less risky.
