Many homeowners hate home maintenance. In fact, nearly one in five people say they regretted buying a house because of the chore of maintaining it, according to a survey from HomeAdvisor of 1,000 homeowners. What’s more, about half of owners underestimate the time, money, and effort needed to maintain a home. Generation X—those born between 1965 and 1980—were the most likely to underestimate the time home maintenance can take.
Home experts recommend tidying up your house for 15 to 30 minutes a day. Also, homeowners should budget about 1% of their purchase price for maintenance. In other words, a $500,000 home likely will cost about $5,000 yearly in maintenance, according to the HomeAdvisor report.
