How much does a home inspection cost?

Between $300-$2000.

But it depends on the inspection company and several other variables:

1. The square footage
2. The age
3. The sale price
4. Crawlspace
5. Weekend or evening
6. Or an hourly rate

Then there are other inspections:

1. Termite inspection
2. Radon test
3. Sewer scope inspection
4. Mold testing
5. Structural

One may use square footage, while another uses both square footage and age to determine their price. One may charge if the home has a crawlspace and another may not. And another may charge for a weekend inspection and another might charge a flat rate of $100 per hour with a 3 hour minimum.

As you can see, it depends. And every inspector has their own reasons for doing it the way they do.

But you’re really paying for the inspector’s experience, efficiency, and results, so the greater the certainty and clarity, the higher the price.

That said, don’t choose a cheap inspector. The insight and cost savings you get from a good home inspection are very real and will always save you money, time, and headaches later.
