What Does a Home Inspection Cost?

The cost of a home inspection depends on many factors, including the square footage of the home, the year that the home was built, if the foundation is a slab or a crawlspace, and if there are any detached garages or structures being inspected. For an average home, you should expect to spend between $400 to $500 for an inspection.

Do I Really Need a Home Inspection?

Yes! A home inspection is an extremely important part of the home-buying process and you should always have one performed before purchasing a home.

Both major and minor defects in a home are easily missed without the correct training and tools. If you purchase a home without having a certified inspector search for these defects, you could wind up responsible for thousands (or more!) in repair and replacement costs.

A home inspection also provides you with valuable information that can help you forecast future costs. In every home, components are aging and will eventually need to be repaired or replaced. After your home inspection, your inspection report will list these major components for you and provide you with their approximate age and expected lifespan. This information can help you plan for future costs so you are ready when they arise.

Furthermore, a home inspection gives you powerful leverage during negotiations! Using the information on your home inspection report you can request repairs, or even negotiate a price reduction or credit. You can never have too much information when it comes to a major purchase!

To repeat, yes, yes , yes, you need a home inspection! Don’t move forward without having a certified inspector look at the home!
