Home inspection costs vary based on the size, age and location of the property. In New York, the average inspection costs $325–$425, while an inspection in Buffalo typically costs about $312. Larger homes with more complex systems or additional services (such as radon testing or well/septic evaluations) will increase the price. While it may seem like an added expense, an inspection can save you thousands by revealing hidden problems before you finalize the purchase. We recommend budgeting for this cost early in your home‐buying timeline and using our Moving Services and Preferred Builders resources to connect with local experts.
