Home Inspection costs, by state and province

Typical costs for home inspection per single-family home. Square footage and roof age influence the fee. Open a market below for a local estimate.

A standard home inspection for a single-family house typically costs $300 to $500, with condos and townhomes on the lower end at $200 to $350. Larger homes over 3,000 square feet can run $500 to $700. Additional services like radon testing or termite inspection add $75 to $200 each.

What Inspectors Check

Inspectors evaluate the roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and visible insulation. They do not check inside walls or move furniture, so a standard inspection covers about 400 items but has clear limitations.

Cost by Home Size

A 1,500–2,000 sq ft home averages $350–$450. Each additional 500 sq ft adds roughly $50–$75. Condos under 1,000 sq ft cost $200–$300 because of less square footage and shared systems.

When to Get Additional Inspections

Radon testing adds $100–$200 and is recommended in areas with known radon risk. Termite inspections cost $75–$150, and sewer scope inspections run $100–$250. These are often negotiated into the home purchase contract.
