Perspective
For the past few years, sellers have had the upper hand, but the tides are turning—it’s becoming a buyer’s market in many areas. As a home inspector, I’ve seen firsthand how this shift is impacting real estate transactions, and here’s what buyers should know:
✅ More Negotiating Power – With fewer bidding wars, buyers can take their time, negotiate repairs, and even request seller concessions. A detailed home inspection report can be a powerful tool in securing a fair deal.
🏡 No More Waived Inspections – During the red-hot market, some buyers skipped inspections to win bids. Now, there’s no reason to take that risk. A thorough home inspection protects your investment and gives you confidence in your purchase.
🔍 Sellers Are More Willing to Make Repairs – Before, sellers could reject repair requests knowing another offer was around the corner. Now, they’re more open to negotiations, making inspection findings even more valuable.
📉 Home Prices Are Stabilizing – With rising inventory, buyers have more choices, and prices aren’t skyrocketing like before. This means you can prioritize quality over urgency—ensuring you’re getting a home in good condition at a fair price.
If you’re buying a home, now is the time to make informed, confident decisions. A professional home inspection helps ensure you’re making a sound investment.
