Is an independent third party home warranty important when you are building a new home?

Answer

Some states require that all builders use a third party warranty (Texas). Check the laws for new construction.

In other markets you need to look at market practices. If all the competition is offering a home warranty then you can be at a competitive disadvantage if you fail to do so.

The perceived value to the buyer can be much greater the physical cost so consider adjusting prices to cover any added cost.
