San Diego Housing Bubble News and Analysis

Maybe it's just my bad experience(s) with generals... I would do the inpsection. How much have you paid - this is negligible compared to that - and worth it to help protect your investment.

It can also be useful, if you haven't already done a punch list, to help generate the punch list.

I second - yes it's a few hundred dollars out of your back pocket, but think of it as cheap insurance on one of the largest purchases you will ever make. I have two siblings that have purchased new homes in south florida and each had very interesting issues with their houses within 6 months of closing

Find an inspector that is ASHI certified and has NO affiliation with the builder or any realtor whatsoever ! ( you want to make sure that they are working for YOU !!!)

Good luck with your new home !

Thanks for the recommendation. These guys are ASHI certified and certified new construction specialists. I'll let you know how it goes.

Have an infrared camera inspection done. You will find all the walls that are not insulated correctly and if there was water damage.
