| July 25, 2007 | | Review your inspector's report before signing on your new home | Ensure you're getting what you're paying for in your new home by scheduling a home inspection. Depending on the severity of problems outlined in your inspector's report, you may be spending much more than you thought on your new home. Here are some average costs of problems your inspector might point out:
Major problems (related to heating, cooling, roofing or plumbing) can cost you anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000
Medium problems (such as insulation or painting) can run between $500 and $2,000
Smaller issues (like outlet repairs) will probably cost under $500.
Keep all of these costs in mind when considering the overall price of the home. Have your Realtor look over the inspector’s report as well and offer any additional input. And for more information on what to expect for your home inspection, go to RealLiving.com. | |
