Home Inspection vs. Appraisal | What’s the Difference?
Buying a home comes with several important steps, and two that often get confused are the home inspection and the home appraisal. While both play an important role in the homebuying process, they serve very different purposes.
In this episode, Isabelle asks Greg to break down the difference in simple terms. They discuss how a home inspection evaluates the property's overall condition, including the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and structure, while an appraisal determines the home's market value to help ensure it aligns with the purchase price for the lender.
Tune in to learn what each process involves, why both matter, and how understanding them can help you feel more confident and prepared as you navigate your homebuying journey.
