The inspection fee for a typical one-family house varies as does the cost of housing. Similarly the inspection fee may vary depending upon the size of the house, particular features of the house, its age, and possible services.

Do not let cost be a factor in deciding whether or not to have  a home inspection, or in the selection of your home inspector. The knowledge gained from an inspection is well worth the cost,  and the lowest-priced inspector is not necessarily a bargain. The inspector's qualifications, including experience, training, and professional affiliations, should be the most important considerations.
