A home inspection report won't directly help you with the buyer but it will save you lot's of money and stress. Before you place your old home on the market get a home inspection. The $300 inspector you hire will find all the little picky things a new buyers inspector would find anyway. The difference, you have time to fix them at your leisure. Additionally, imagine the Buyers reaction when his inspector tells him the dream home he is getting ready to buy has a clean inspection report?
Besides, according to the Buyers contract you are obligated to fix all the items his inspector finds up to 1 1/2% of the purchase price. You've waited months for the right buyer, why risk loosing the deal?
Let's put some number to this. I you sell $500,000 house you are on the hook for $7,500.
It's the smart move to get an inspection before you even call a Realtor to list your home for sale.
