Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. Before finalizing your purchase, one key step helps protect your investment: the home inspection.
What is it?
A home inspection is a professional review of the property’s condition. An inspector checks the major systems and structure of the home, helping you understand what you’re buying.
What’s included?
Inspectors usually look at:
-
Roof and foundation
-
Plumbing and electrical systems
-
Heating and cooling systems (HVAC)
-
Attic, insulation, and ventilation
-
Interior and exterior structure
How much does it cost?
Most inspections cost between $300–$500, depending on the home’s size and location. The process typically takes 2–4 hours.
Why is it important?
A home may look perfect during a showing, but hidden issues can cost thousands to fix. The inspection gives you peace of mind—and the opportunity to negotiate repairs or credits before moving forward.
Takeaway: A home inspection helps you make an informed decision and avoid expensive surprises.
