Sweepstakes: American Home Shield

It can be expensive to own a home. There's no place like home … until something goes wrong or breaks down, leaving you with hundreds if not thousands of dollars in unwanted expenses. There are many benefits to owning your own home, but every homeowner also knows that a lot can go wrong, and when it does – it can be costly.

On average, American homeowners can spend one to four percent of their home’s value annually on maintenance and repairs, according to Freddie Mac. In fact, a 2013 study conducted by Decision Analyst for American Home Shield found that within a 12-month period, the typical household will spend an average of $1,302 on repairs and replacements.
