All home inspection conditions apply to new homes, as well. But newly built houses can also have issues, so don’t assume anything — specifically, don’t assume that an older home will definitely have a lot of issues, and don’t assume that a newer home won’t have any at all. Remember, buying a house will likely be the largest and most significant purchase of your life, and this isn’t the time to gamble with such a large amount of money at stake. When buying a home, you must have an inspection done prior to signing the contract.
AFTER THE HOME INSPECTION
What can you expect afterward? Now that the home inspection — or inspections — is complete, you and your agent will receive a full inspection report. After this, there are essentially three possible outcomes about what happens going forward.
BEST-CASE SCENARIO:
In this case, everything looks good, everything is fine, the property is in excellent condition, and no further work is required or recommended. This means you are good to go with moving toward other paperwork in the closing process. Congratulations! You are one step closer to homeownership.
