How much does a home inspection cost? Usually it depends on the size of the home. It also depends on the inspector – each is an independent businessperson.
I use two different certified home inspectors and the rates they’re recently charging are:
-
Small condos, about $250
-
Average sized home, about $300 to $500
-
Large and luxury homes, $400 to $700
Keep in mind these rates are in metro Phoenix, Arizona, where I live and work.
There are at least two organizations that train and certify home inspectors. Home buyers can learn a ton from visiting their websites.
-
The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI) maintains a website at www.NACHI.org.
-
The American Society of Home Inspectors posts their online info at www.ASHI.org, including a helpful FAQ for homebuyers.

Thank you so much Scott! I’m glad you found this post. And I’m embarrassed that I made that mistake. Text will be corrected! best wishes, heather
Hi Heather,
I just had this post come across my Google alerts. I thought I would add this so that you might correct your blog.
ASHI and NACHI are only professional organizations. They do not train their members. Similar to the NAR they provide CE for their members but not the initial training.
Best,
Scott
