BUFFALO, N.Y. — Home buyers don't have enough houses to look at, which is prompting bidding wars and buyer concessions such as waiving home inspections.
The Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors reports that the number of home inspections is down 25% this year.
“It is quite a different world,” said Scott Mack, owner of Mack Property Inspections LLC, Buffalo.
Mack averages three home inspections per week compared to 10 pre-Covid.
