Re: Market report??
I’ve personally have had a slowdown in new home and resale inspections compared to the last few years. We have been in a booming real estate market here in Houston for several years now so maybe we are past due for a cooling off period. Other local inspectors I have talked to however seems to represent a mixed bag.
Some tell me that they are slower than last year, some tell me they are doing better than last year, and some tell me they are about the same as last year. I guess I personally am falling into the "slower than normal" category this year as far as the buyer/seller real estate transaction type inspections are concerned.
While TREC regulated inspections may be down for me personally, my TRCC inspections this year have just about doubled over last year, energy tune-up inspections are also up for me this year and my work as a TDSHS licensed Mold Assessor Consultant has remained steady.
We are only at the halfway mark for the fiscal calendar year so all bets are off on how the year will end for any of us financially. Welcome to the wonderful world of home inspection and the unique pocket sized market environments we live in!
