One of the hardest parts of a home inspection can be figuring out what actually matters.
Every house is going to have little things that show up on an inspection report. Many are inexpensive or relatively easy to fix, and it’s easy to get distracted by a long list.
The bigger question is: Are there any issues that could be costly or difficult to address?
At this inspection in Rockville, the report had plenty of small items — but we also discovered moisture in several areas of the basement walls.
For this buyer, that was more than he wanted to take on, and he ultimately decided to walk away.
That’s the value of a good home inspection. It helps you separate the small, fixable stuff from the issues that could actually affect your decision to buy.
