A home inspection examines a property's safety and current condition. A buyer typically arranges and pays for a home inspection and depending on the findings may choose to move on to closing, renegotiate the sale price, request repairs, or back out of the deal. A home inspection is not the same as a home appraisal, which is required by a lender to determine the value of a property for which a buyer is seeking a mortgage.

Many homebuyers are so preoccupied with budgeting for their new home purchase that they forget to factor in moving costs. Here’s what to consider:

Moving supplies. Boxes, tape, packing peanuts — anything you’d need to safely package your items for the move.

Cleaning service costs. Before moving to your next house, you’ll want to do a deep cleaning of your current home. You can do this yourself or hire a professional service to do the dirty work for you.

Physical moving costs. Whether you’re renting a truck or using a moving company, this includes any hired help for packing, loading, or unloading your moving vehicle.
