Should You Waive the Home Inspection in Omaha?

In a hot market, some buyers consider waiving the home inspection to strengthen their offer. But is that a smart move in Omaha?

Here’s what to consider.

• What You Risk by Waiving

Without an inspection, you’re buying the home “as is”—with no insight into potential repairs or hidden issues.

• When It Might Make Sense

If the seller has a recent inspection on file, or if you’re confident about the home’s condition (such as new construction), it might be worth considering. But we still recommend proceeding with caution.

• Alternative Options

Rather than waiving entirely, consider an “informational only” inspection. This lets you understand the home’s condition without negotiating repairs.

• Work With a Trusted Agent

We’ll help you evaluate the home’s age, condition, and seller disclosures to decide what’s best.

Conclusion:

Waiving inspections can be risky—but sometimes strategic. Always weigh your comfort level and the property’s condition carefully.
