June is National Homeownership Month, and 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10) is working hard to make it the best one yet for your clients.
Adjusting to Changing Markets
It’s been a wild five years in the housing market, with three major changes affecting the market:
- Huge home value increases nationwide
- The National Association of REALTORS® settlement
- A softening Seller’s market
On the Seller’s side, your clients may have unrealistic expectations about how much they should get for their homes and how quickly a sale should happen.
On the Buyer’s side, new NAR requirements—namely, the requirement to have a signed agreement with an agent that clearly outlines compensation—add a layer of complexity into an already-complex process.
And both Buyers and Sellers expect that their transactions should go smoothly—and that includes avoiding delays, derailments, and regrets caused by unexpected breakdowns to major systems and appliances.
Fortunately, 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10) has been an expert in helping provide solutions for covered breakdowns for decades and could help you tackle some of the obstacles they’re facing.
Supporting Sellers With Listing Coverage
There are two truths about the current Seller’s market that seem at odds with each other:
- Average national prices for single-family homes increased from about $300,000 in April 2020 to just over $450,000 as of April 2025.
- Sellers are pricing their homes too high.
A big reason for this clash is that many Sellers are still in the mindset that it’s a similar market to 2021 and 2022, where getting more than the asking price and bidding wars were more common.
But today’s market is much different, and it may be leaning toward Buyers. This market change is a chance for you to stand out in two ways.
- Setting proper expectations about realistic market value
- Protecting the Seller’s transaction with a 2-10 Home Service Plan (aka Home Warranty)
Setting expectations about a home’s value early in the process can save your Sellers a lot of heartache later. Remind them that it may still be a good time to sell, since home values are generally much higher than they were five years ago.
Additionally, introduce them to the power of 2-10 Seller Coverage while the home is listed. 2-10 Seller Coverage provides coverage for covered breakdowns caused by routine use to some of the home’s most expensive-to-fix items, such as:
- Heating
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- Major kitchen appliances
On top of having a solution for breakdowns that could derail the sale, Seller Coverage can offer potential Buyers peace of mind that the home’s major systems and appliances are covered against routine breakdowns.
Better still, Sellers can convert Seller Coverage to Buyer Coverage, adding an important incentive to entice Buyers.
Finally, suggesting a Home Warranty makes good sense in today’s market: According to HomeLight, a Home Warranty is a powerful incentive that home sellers can provide in 2025.

Helping Reduce Buyer’s Remorse
A worrying trend in the current market is the overall share of homeowners who have experienced buyer’s remorse after purchasing a home.
According to a 2025 survey by Opendoor, a huge percentage of first-time home sellers had regrets about buying their home, especially younger sellers.
- 94% of Gen Z
- 86% of millennials
- 48% of baby boomers
Further, for 37% of millennials, which are one of the biggest groups of home buyers (behind baby boomers), the biggest source of regret was that they underestimated maintenance costs.
A 2-10 Home Service Plan could help address some of these major concerns.
A 2-10 Home Warranty could really help Buyers pay less than if they were to pay for a breakdown out of pocket with repairs through 2-10’s network of independent Service Contractors.* And if they can’t repair the issue, their covered system or appliance could be eligible for replacement. That could help them pay much less than they would out of pocket.
Additionally, unlike many manufacturer’s warranties, which often only cover one item, a 2-10 Home Warranty could cover multiple parts of multiple covered items, no matter their age. This could help your clients protect more items against covered breakdowns.
Give Your Clients the Coverage They Deserve
You play a pivotal role in making the American Dream come true. Your clients need someone who can help them navigate the difficulties of the market on both the buy-side and the sell-side. And breakdowns to important systems and appliances can turn a good experience into a bad one quickly.
With Buyer or Seller Coverage from 2-10, you can offer a high-quality solution to a high-stress situation.
This National Homeownership Month and beyond, give your clients the coverage they deserve from 2-10.
