12 New Year's Resolutions Every Homeowner Should Make

The start of a new year is a good time to establish different goals. And one of yours may be to keep your home in great shape. To that end, here are some homeowner resolutions to put on your list for 2023.

1. Conduct a Home Assessment

Your home has a lot of different facets. A good way to organize yourself for 2023 and know which items need to be addressed first is to do a thorough home assessment. Angie Hicks, chief customer officer at home improvement network Angi, says the best way to go about this is to pretend that you're a home buyer evaluating a property you're looking to purchase.

Walk through your home room by room and make a list of the problems you're seeing, she says. Then, group them into different categories.

Hicks says mechanical and structural issues should be grouped into one bucket, cosmetic issues into another and wish list items into a third. That way, if you're on a limited budget, you can prioritize where your money should go.
