how much is a home inspection
1 A typical home inspection averages $260-$280 in the Midwest and Southwest and $320-$360 elsewhere nationwide. 2  The average home inspection will take 2-4 hours, but an extremely detailed evaluation can take 5-8 hours or more -- and will usually be billed at the higher end of the $200-$900 price range. With the recent housing market slump, some inspectors may offer a home inspection for a flat rate of $100-$200.
