How much does a home inspection cost? Usually it depends on the size of the home. It also depends on the inspector – each is an independent businessperson.
I use two different certified home inspectors and the rates they’re recently charging are:
- Small condos, about $250
- Average sized home, about $300 to $500
- Large and luxury homes, $400 to $700
Keep in mind these rates are in metro Phoenix, Arizona, where I live and work.
There are at least two organizations that train and certify home inspectors. Home buyers can learn a ton from visiting their websites.
- The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI) maintains a website at www.NACHI.org.
- The American Society of Home Inspectors posts their online info at www.ASHI.org, including a helpful FAQ for homebuyers.
