The cost of an inspection depends largely on the size of the property, but for easy reference, a typical single-family home will cost between $350 and $500 for an inspection. Your home inspector may suggest the following separate inspections after he completes his walk-through of the property: plumbing, asbestos, lead-based paint, pets/wood destroying organisms. The items you discover in your inspection can be used to negotiate a better price on the property. If you find things that you didn't know about, you can ask the seller to either fix those issues, credit you the cost of those repairs at closing, or simply lower the price of the property. [2015] - Brandon Turner

It’s more important to see how the market reacts to the news than to know what the news is. [2003] - Marcel Link
