This quarter, the story’s simple: stability is holding - but not without a sting.
Plumbing, electrical, and structural costs all stayed steady, while appliance repairs continued their quiet climb.
🔹 Plumbing held firm across the board - sinks hovered near $265, toilets around $275, and showers a touch under $270.
🔹 Dishwashers kept creeping up, nearly catching ovens after a year of slow and steady increases.
🔹 Ceilings eased slightly, while flooring costs stayed high, keeping structural repairs one of the trickiest areas to budget.
🔹 And power points? Still the costliest electrical culprit.
So what does that mean for property managers? It’s the quarter to double down on efficiency. Costs might look calm, but the “new normal” of elevated repair prices isn’t shifting anytime soon.
That’s where the Property Maintenance Index (PMI) earns its keep.
It’s your data-driven cheat sheet to:
🎯 Benchmark your maintenance spend in seconds and spot where you can save.
