I know this goes against the conventional thinking, but...
It doesn't really make any sense to me to allocate maintenance costs as a percentage of property value.
If you have a 2,000 sq. ft. house in a HCOL area, you may have spent $1.2 million.
If you have a 2,000 sq. ft. house in a LCOL area, you may have spent $200,000.
IT'S THE SAME HOUSE!
The difference is the value of the land on which the house sits.
Granted, there is usually a difference in the cost of repairs between HCOL and LCOL, but not by a factor of 6. Say it's double, and I think that could be a stretch in most cases.
So I think the way to do this by formula would be Y (using a different variable name!) times square footage times regional cost adjustment factor.
Now I'd guess that $1.2mm/1300=$923/month is way too much to budget for maintenance. I had a 2700 sq. ft. house in a HCOL area and over 20 years (1994-2014), with paying for a new roof, two new porches, new walls, new furnace, and miscellany, we averaged around $200-300/month in maintenance costs.
