How Much Does a Home Inspection Cost?

How much does a home inspection cost? 

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has estimated that a typical home inspection may cost $300 to $500 or more in most markets. This will most commonly not include the 4-point inspection, which is required for the insurer and the wind mitigation report that most homes in Florida will require. These additional inspections are at an additional cost. Let Florida Home Inspector Services, LLC. provide you this information.

Homes are generally given a cost based on square footage. For a small home you would pay less than a larger home. The age of the home will also typically add a minor additional charge with the understanding that older homes may have more issues or recommendations for repair then a newer home.

It is widely understood a home inspection is well worth the cost for future buyers. Certified home inspectors may discover major and/or minor repairs or issues that may require follow-up or repair and/or replacement of components. The inspector’s report will point out these issues during what is commonly referred to as the “inspection period”, effectively allowing the buyer to make an educated decision to secure or close or in some cases to walk away from the home. Why incur the risk of not conducting inspections which may reduce your home investment?

Home inspections are an important step in the house buying process. Real estate professionals recommend you get an inspection as a good practice and for your own protection.
