Buying a Boulder Home is a great long-term, wealth-building strategy.  As part of that strategy, getting a home inspection can help ensure the soundness of your investment.  There are numerous Boulder neighborhoods that offer a variety of housing options and finding that "dream home" is an exciting thing.  Don't let the excitement of the moment or the potential cost diminish the importance of getting a thorough home inspection.  There are many things that inspectors investigate that are not visible - things that can potentially cost a lot of money to fix.

Buying a Boulder home involves a significant investment - and getting a home inspection is not free, either.  You can buy a home and skip the inspection or get your brother-in-law to look the house over, but given the price of Boulder real estate, it's probably not a wise move.

A competent home inspector will, among other things, test the major systems in the home like the roof, HVAC, plumbing, etc., and provide you with a written report detailing his/her findings.  Even if you accept the house "as is", the inspection and the inspection report report will help you understand how to deal with any issues and help you properly maintain your new home.  In a best-case scenario, you can negotiate some repairs with the seller before you close.

In a previous post we talked about Boulder real estate being a long-term investment, and a home inspection is no different.  In the scheme of things and considering the potential cost(s) of not getting one done, a home inspection is money well-spent.  Even in new construction, a home inspection can save you aggrivation and maybe even save you money.
