What is the cost of a home inspection?
About the price

Did you know the average listing price of a home in Bexar County is around $300,000? and in some areas, it’s more than $450,000!
If you’re like most people, a home is probably the largest investment you’ll make in your lifetime. And there is so much risk involved. Many defects can be hidden to the naked eye, electrical problems, plumbing issues, water damage, structural issues, the list goes on and on. Which is why a quality home inspection is one of the most valuable investments you can make.
The cost of a home inspection is very small relative to the cost of a house. Most home inspections cost less than $400 that’s a small price to pay for peace of mind when facing this high-dollar investment.
How is the Price of a Home Inspection Determined?
Every home inspection company will have its own unique method for determining the cost of your inspection. However, there are considerations that all will take into account.
For example, your home inspector will set the price based on a number of common factors like:
The home’s square footage: Most home inspectors base their fees on the size of the home inclusive of all floors, attics, and porches. And most will have a minimum fee for small homes and those with pier and beam foundations.
The presence of certain items on your property, for example, a pool, a spa, outbuildings, or a high-pitched roof that may require additional time to walk thoroughly, or the use of specialized equipment like Drones.
The age of the home or condo: Older homes may take longer to inspect, particularly if the home has undergone extensive renovations, which can lead to complicating factors, like electrical systems.

A few additional factors may also affect the price. Estimates can vary based on the location of the property — if it’s outside the inspector’s normal service area (BEXAR County), there may be a travel fee included.
Why Shouldn’t you Choose a Home Inspector Based on Cost Alone?
All home inspectors are required to be licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC), which indicates a certain level of education, training, and professionalism.
Quality, however, comes from experience on the ground. A high-quality inspector will go beyond TREC’s minimum inspection requirements. His report should be longer and more detailed than TREC’s minimum report (which is only required to be six pages, with no pictures and only a few performance statements). He should educate you, make sure you understand the findings, and go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. And remember, you’re not hiring a company, you’re hiring a person. Many of the larger inspection firms hire new inspectors with little field experience. Make sure your inspector has a depth of experience, ideally with inspections in South Texas to get the most from this small, but extremely valuable, investment in a home inspection.
And remember! Finding the best home inspector for you is key to ensuring you are making a wise home investment decision.

The Tale of Two Homebuyers: John and Juan
The Cost of a Cheap Inspection vs. The Value of a Thorough One
John and Juan were both excited about buying their new homes. They had found what seemed to be the perfect places for their families, and now, they just needed a home inspection before finalizing the purchase.
John’s Costly Shortcut
John, wanting to save money, chose the cheapest home inspector he could find. The inspector rushed through the process, barely looking beyond the surface. His report was vague, lacking detail, and didn’t provide much insight. Everything seemed fine, so John moved forward with confidence.
But after moving in, issues started appearing—things that should have been caught during the inspection. Small inconveniences turned into major headaches, and the money John thought he had saved was quickly spent on unexpected repairs. What seemed like a great deal ended up being a costly mistake.
Juan’s Smart Investment
Juan, on the other hand, chose Almana Home Inspections, knowing that a thorough, professional inspection would protect his investment. The inspector took the time to carefully assess the home, explaining observations in a clear and honest way. The report was detailed and easy to understand, giving Juan the knowledge to make a confident decision.
Because of this, Juan was able to address potential concerns before closing, saving himself time, stress, and money in the long run. His transition into homeownership was smooth, with no unpleasant surprises waiting for him.
The Lesson
John and Juan both bought homes, but only one started their journey with peace of mind. When it comes to home inspections, choosing quality over a bargain can mean the difference between a smart investment and costly regrets.
