The Weekly Poll: Has a home inspection ever made you decide not to buy?
The weekly poll is getting an inspection. Go help it decide what repairs to ask for.
This week’s topic is all about home inspections and whether or not you’ve ever walked away from a home because of one. Home inspections are a really important part of the home buying process, and having been through a lot of them with a lot of clients — both seller and buyers — I feel pretty confident in saying that no home is perfect. However, some homes are, well, a lot less perfect than other ones. And some are just downright scary. While it doesn’t happen all that often, I occasionally do have a deal that just completely falls apart because the home inspections turns up something that is just too much for the buyer to handle, be it a cracked foundation, a falling in roof, or a case of “creative” electrical wiring or plumbing.
So what about you? Have you ever walked away from a home because of the home inspection? Were you glad you did? Or maybe you didn’t walk away and now wish you had? Cast your vote and let me know.

We walked away from a home because of many things the inspector found. We were sad at first but then we found the house of our dreams.
I know that was a stressful experience, but I’m so glad you love your new home!
