An average would be about $360, but there a lot of considerations other than price for choosing a home inspector. Make sure he knows what's he doing and is working for you, the buyer. Check out these websites for information on choosing a home inspector and to find an independent inspector in your area: http://www.BuyersProtectionService.com/ChoosingInspector http://www.IndependentInspectors.org

The cost of a professional home inspection usually varies with square footage, age of the house and pool or spa. Here's a link to one of my favorite home inspector's web site, on which he posts his prices: http://swphomeinspect.com/index.html

Best of luck!

Hi Arline,

In California it is about $375 ....it varies by State but I am sure it would not be vastly different. I hope this gives you a ballpark figure.
