The Value of a Home InspectionA home inspection will give you a comprehensive and thorough look at the overall condition of the home. Although an inspection cannot identify every problem, it can uncover problems that should be addressed before buying a house that needs a costly repair.

 

No, a home inspection is not always required. But at a cost of about $300-$450, it is a wise investment for anyone that is purchasing. A contract that is contingent on a home inspection from a qualified home inspector will benefit from:

 

 

  • Evaluation of the actual physical condition of the building, construction and mechanical systems of the home.
  • Estimate of time and life expectancy of major systems and appliances within the house; roof age, air conditioning, water heater, etc.
  • Help to identify what items should be repaired or replaced before and after negotiations.

 

So if you are wondering if the purchase of a home inspection would be worth the money, talk to a professional. Your real estate agent is a good resource to help you find a qualified home inspector.
