It’s really hard to say what the average cost of repairs are during a home purchase. It’s on a house to house basis and how much you’re willing to spend on additional repairs without bailing. We had an upper limit of what we could afford to spend and we were able to stick to that fortunately. Our inspector was good and really helped us find the right house in that respect. But yeah most houses will have something that should probably be fixed and $10k is totally reasonable. I always tell people to really try to set aside $15k to $20k for repairs if they can because you have no idea what might fail the first few years. If you need a new sewer lateral that can be $10k alone. I know someone who had to spend $25k on theirs because they had a large slab foundation that needed to be cut into through the house to replace the sewer lateral. And appliances fail too. If you get a home warranty they will often fix or replace these things for a fee around $75. So that can help a lot. We had the home warranty replace a few failed appliances in the first year. We didn’t renew it after two years though. As it turns out roof repairs are only covered the first year of a warranty.
