Buying a home can be a stressful purchase, but luckily in Beaverton, Oregon, there isn’t as much pressure on buyers because the market isn’t a super hot one. However, it is important to find a home inspector that is qualified and a good fit for you before you purchase a home in Oregon.
Home inspectors in Oregon are not required by the state to be licensed inspectors, so when looking for a home inspector, it is important to make sure that they are qualified and have good client reviews.
Many Beaverton home inspectors follow a specific Standard of Practice set forth by associations like InterNACHI, which serve as guidelines for what they will inspect during your home inspection.
Every home is unique, which means that home inspections have to be adjusted based on the home in question. However, there are always elements in a home that are consistent, and inspectors will be looking at these in addition to the others that are dependent on the property.
Over the course of 2019, the Beaverton, OR market was slightly hotter than neutral (a warm market) making it slightly competitive for home buyers in the area, but still flexible.
Home values rose by 2.9% over 2019, but are predicted to fall by 0.9% over 2020. However, this isn’t a large dip and the market will likely remain warm over 2020, which is good news for both buyers and sellers.
For home buyers in Beaverton, it is important to consider options, but not wait too long when making a decision.
Getting a home inspection is very important, and can also be used as a decision making point, because you will know if the home is right for you or not based on its condition and the findings in your home inspection report.
