Don’t Skip the Inspection: Why Every Home Offer Should Include It

In the excitement of buying a home, it’s easy to overlook key steps—especially in a competitive market. But one non-negotiable should always be a professional home inspection. Including this condition in your offer gives you peace of mind and can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs. A detailed inspection uncovers issues that may not be visible during a showing, from outdated electrical systems and hidden water damage to structural concerns that could compromise the safety and value of the home.

By making the inspection a condition of purchase, you keep your options open. If significant issues are found, you can negotiate repairs or a price reduction, or in serious cases, walk away from the deal entirely. Without an inspection, you’re buying a property "as-is"—and that can mean inheriting costly problems. A home inspection gives you the full picture before you commit, so you can move forward with confidence.
