How long does a home inspection usually take?
A standard home inspection takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the size and condition of the home. A 2,000-square-foot home in good condition typically takes about 3 hours. You should plan to attend the inspection so you can see issues firsthand and ask questions.
Why It Matters
Attending the inspection gives you a much deeper understanding of your potential home than any report can provide.
