Question:
“Hi Gary. When I buy a home, I’ll take your advice and definitely have it inspected. A few questions: When should I do it? How much does one cost? How long does it take?”
Answer:
You should do your home inspection ASAP after your offer is accepted. You typically have 7 to 17 days to inspect and object to your findings. This varies by contract.
Prices commonly run $250-$450 for condos and $300-$600 for houses. Prices vary based on inspector, size, and whether a house has a crawl space.
Inspections typically run 2-4 hours, again depending on the size and type of home.
