| | Home Loans – Would You Buy a Home Without an Inspection?Written by Charles Essmeier
The housing market has exploded, with home prices rising beyond all reason in some markets. Home prices have doubled or tripled during last five years, and in some cities, asking prices for homes are considered only to be suggested opening bids. Homes often sell in a few days or even hours, and would-be buyers are tiring of losing out to higher bidders. In order to achieve an advantage over other bidders, some people are offering to buy homes without a professional inspection. What do they gain from such an offer? Is declining an inspection an OK thing for a buyer to do?
Traditionally, a professional home inspection is a valued component of home buying process. While inspections are rarely required by law, most buyers would prefer to have any home they might purchase inspected before committing to purchase. The inspectors look for problems with foundations, plumbing, wiring, and termite infestation. In addition, they often check to make sure home meets building, zoning, and easement codes. The fee of several hundred dollars, paid by buyer, can turn out to be a bargain if inspection determines that home needs thousands of dollars in repairs. At that point, buyer can walk away from home or negotiate a financial compromise with seller in hopes of having problem repaired prior to sale.
