IMPORTANCE OF A HOME INSPECTION (EVEN IF IT’S AFTER YOU MOVE-IN)

Even if you decide to skip the inspection when making your offer, it’s still super important to gather as much information as you can about your new home, even if it ends up being after you’ve moved in. After all, how long do you plan on living there? Having all the details helps you budget and plan effectively—knowledge is power, and let’s be honest, ignorance is NOT bliss.

If you waived the home inspection during the buying process, you might think it’s too late for one now. But here’s why getting an inspection after you move in is still essential:

1.Prevent costly repairs / budget for future projects

Catching issues early can save you from a much larger bill down the line. A small problem identified now can prevent a big headache (and expense) later!

2. Uncover hidden issues

An inspection can reveal plumbing leaks, electrical issues, or even structural concerns that you might not have noticed right away. It’s better to deal with a small issue now than a large issue later.

3. Peace of mind

It’s all about feeling secure in your new space. Knowing your home is safe and sound can give you the confidence to fully enjoy it. Plus, you’ll receive expert advice on maintaining your home for years to come.

Whether you just bought or have been in your home for 20 years, it’s always a smart idea to have a home inspection done from time to time. I know some great home inspectors I trust and would be happy to recommend! Just send me a message, and I can connect you!
