How To Maintain Your Home In Fairfax County In A Cost Effective Way

Having your own home in Fairfax County is a blessing. However, it is also a costly affair. You need money not only to buy a house in Fairfax County but also to maintain it. According to Realtor Magazine, "Nearly 20 percent of homeowners admit they have no money put aside for an emergency home repair. Yet more than half of the respondents say they’ve had a home repair emergency in the last 12 months". It is quite common to have a burst or leaky pipe in the house. This problem, if immediately taken care of, will only cost you a few dollars. However, If it is ignored it can cause serious damage to your house. Myles Meehan, vice president of corporate communication at HomeServe USA, says, “The median age of a home is about 40 years, so that’s telling us that homes are aging. People should be concerned about maintenance and be prepared for things to break down." But there is nothing to worry. You can maintain your house in Fairfax County in an easy and cost-effective way. According to Realtor Magazine, "Many financial experts recommend stowing away 1 percent of the home’s purchase price each year to cover ongoing home maintenance costs. In addition, people should have savings equal to at least three to six months of overall living expenses in an emergency fund". Thus, just put aside some money regularly for your home maintenance.  Don't ignore little problems with your house to avoid any serious hazards. If you follow these simple routines, you can maintain your house in Fairfax County without spending huge amounts of money.
