Reports and Documents

  • Homewyse Homeownership Cost Report This report summarizes annualized home maintenance and repair expenses for typical residential dwellings in key United States geographic areas. It evaluates annualized capital cost of systems - such as plumbing, roofing, HVAC, siding - along with larger scale maintenance projects - such as painting, fencing and landscaping - as well as routine periodic maintenance costs. Theses combined costs are commonly overlooked, but clearly illustrate why homeowners experience substantially larger home ownership expenses than originally expected.
