90%+ of that is home improvement (new rug, yard work, appliances etc) not home maintenance.
I live in a condo and there is no way I would be spending on maintenance (things that break that make the home unlivable) on a 7 year old home that I spend on a 7 year old condo.
If you purchase an old home, the one time costs are home improvement, either you got a break on the purchase price knowing you would need to preform some upgrades or you purchased it as livable to some, but you wanted to upgrade somethings - that is not maintenance.
