Regular home maintenance has one of the best ROIs, according to Zillow.
Not only can regular maintenance help prevent small issues from turning into more expensive repairs, it may also pay off when it’s time to sell.
According to Zillow, homes that are well cared for sell for 2.9% more than expected. That means staying on top of things like cleaning gutters, resealing grout, and regularly servicing HVAC systems to help keep a home move-in ready.
