While you may be tempted to skip the home inspection to try to make your offer stand out this spring, just know that’s a gamble that may not pay off.
Even though a home might seem move-in ready, an inspection could uncover underlying problems you didn’t see in your walk-through. And information is power.
It helps you avoid unpleasant surprises. Plus, if any issues are found, your agent can help you negotiate with the seller on the repairs.

There are 28.5% more homes for sale right now than there were at this time one year ago. But at the same time, inventory still hasn’t bounced all the way back to normal. It’s still down over 20% compared to 2017–2019.

That makes this moment the sweet spot to make your move. You’ll have an easier time finding a home you love, and your house should still sell quickly if you work with a pro to price it right.

It’s not really a surprise that 70% of buyers paused their home search last year. Maybe you were one of them. And if so, no judgment. Conditions just weren’t great.

More homeowners are jumping back into their search to make a move this year. Builders are finishing more homes. And together, that’s creating more options for you when you move – maybe even the home you’ve been waiting for.
