Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed the private and State warranty programs that were developed to protect home buyers from construction defects in new houses. The review was made to assess the growth of these warranty programs and the protection that they provided through federally assisted housing programs. Until recently, new-home buyer's protection from construction defects was limited to that described in the purchase contract. This has generally been replaced with warranties that define the builder's responsibility to correct construction defects. However, enforcing these warranties is difficult when builders refuse to or cannot make repairs. To help alleviate this problem, the insured warranty concept was developed. These new warranties: (1) protect the home buyer during the builder warranty period if the builder cannot or will not stand behind the warranty; (2) provide 10-year insurance against certain major stuctural defects; and (3) include an inexpensive and independent process to settle claims. Federal agencies have taken initial steps to use insured warranties in their housing programs. Several benefits are derived from using insured warranties on federally assisted houses, including: (1) furthering the desire to encourage improved home warranty protection; (2) providing home buyers with improved warranty protection; (3) reducing Federal expenses for correcting structural defects; and (4) reducing Federal construction inspections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home warranties are often criticized for their lack of worth to a potential home buyer. We argue that both home buyers and home sellers may benefit from warranties, though the benefits are very small. If home buyers are risk averse, home warranties provide a valuable form of insurance. Sellers can then extract this benefit in the form of either higher prices, increased probability of sale, or faster sales. Using a large data set from the Richmond M.L.S. that spans 2000 - 2015, our preliminary results show that home warranties do indeed benefit home sellers by increasing the probability of sale and decreasing time on market, though this latter effect is limited for higher priced homes. Warranties offered on homes priced above $288,588.89 sellers induce longer time on markets and reduced probability of sales. Our results also suggest that agents who sell their own properties are 13-15% more likely to offer warranties, suggesting some principal-agent issues may be present. However the benefits are empirically not present in our results. Surprisingly, warranties tend to reduce the price of a home by $6,081, leading us to conclude that home warranties are used by agents who want to sell homes quickly and for sellers with already low prices. Our main conclusion is that home warranties are used as a substitute for lowering price, and is used by sellers whose price/time on market tradeoff who favor faster sales and lower prices relative to slower sales but higher prices.
