People tend to assume that homes are great investments - they’re not, that mortgages are a wealth building hack - they help, but as much as some people think, that paying off a mortgage lowers your housing costs - it actually raises them, and that owning a home makes people happy - it might, but don’t count on it.

-Mayer, in a response to Smith and Smith (2006), suggests a range of 2–3% for maintenance and capital expenditure.
-Harding, Rosenthal, and Sirmans (2007) find that U.S. housing depreciates at roughly 2.5% per year gross of maintenance spending, and 2% per year net.
-Bokhari and Geltner (2016) find an overall average net of maintenance depreciation rate of 1.5% per year net of maintenance.
-In National Accounts data, Statistics Canada reports average maintenance and repair costs over our sample period of 0.82% as a proportion of net residential housing stock, and renovation spending of 2.48%.
-For calculating the Consumer Price Index, Statistics Canada uses 1.5% of the building value for homeowners' replacement cost (depreciation). Homeowners' replacement cost comprises 24.85% of the owned accommodation item in the CPI, while homeowners' maintenance and repairs comprise 9.97%, or 0.60% of the building value. Together, this suggests depreciation and maintenance costs of 2.1% of the building value.
