Maintain your home so it maintains its value

Regular maintenance is important to your home to avoid larger maintenance needs. Maintaining the appearance and function of the home also helps it uphold its value. Mint.com uses another website http://www.zillow.com to find the most current market value of a home. Every dollar up or down that your home value realizes is, in reality, a dollar in or out of your pocket when the time comes to sell it. By maintaining your home well, you also encourage a standard in your neighborhood which will also affect your resale value.
