A standard home inspection runs $300–$500 for a typical single-family home. Bigger homes, older homes, and add-on tests like radon or a sewer scope push it higher; a small condo can run a little less. The base fee scales mostly with square footage and age — and the cheapest quote isn't always the best value, because a thorough inspector who catches a $10,000 problem earns the difference many times over.
This is a buyer's guide for homebuyers and for the inspectors who serve them. We build websites and lead systems for home inspectors, so we'll give you real ranges, what moves the price, and when the add-ons are worth paying for.
A typical single-family home. Covers structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and major systems, with a written report and photos.
A separate add-on. Worth it in radon-prone regions; the fix is far cheaper to negotiate before closing.
A camera down the main line. Smart on older homes or properties with mature trees — a collapsed line is a five-figure surprise.
Often required by lenders in certain states. Mold, pool, and septic inspections are additional tests with their own fees.
A bargain inspection that misses a major defect is the most expensive kind. Spend up when:
Buyers and agents price-shop inspectors fast, often on a phone between showings. The inspector with a clear site, sample reports, and easy online scheduling wins the booking. We build a home inspector website that does exactly that, plus AI lead capture that answers "can you do Saturday?" and books it.
Our Start Getting Leads plan is $249/month; the SEO plan at $597 wins the search channel. See home inspector marketing, what buyers judge in choosing an inspector, or browse more cost guides. We run our own service companies on this exact stack.
We don't post stock testimonials. On a 15-minute call we screen-share the real dashboards behind our own businesses — live leads, rankings, and the exact page that produced each one. See the proof →

Radon ($100–$200), sewer scope ($100–$300), termite/WDO ($75–$150), and mold, pool, or septic inspections — each a separate test the base inspection doesn't cover.
For nearly every buyer, yes. A $400 inspection that uncovers a failing roof or old panel gives you room to renegotiate or walk away — easily worth thousands.
