Cost of Home Inspection?

Reading previous recs for good inspectors and estimates of the time an inspection might take. Early on before I even had a grasp of the buying process, I called one inspection outfit. They said their price would be based in part on the cost of the property. By my calculations, the inspection was going to cost more than a thousand for a home selling for, say, $800,000. Is that right? What should I expect?
Thank you for your help.
Nona – the cost of the inspection is usually based on how many units are in the building and number of floors/size of the house because that affects how long it will take the inspector to do his work. It should not be based on the price you are paying. Frankly they should not even be asking you that question at this stage.
I feel like I paid about $600-800 for our single- family home inspection. We used Jason Hicks of Win Home Inspection. He was fantastic. His number is 516-510-7771.
I think I paid $600-800 for a townhouse inspection.
why would this depend on purchase price? unless my memory is completely wrong, we paid 850 for inspection over a garden duplex (incl the roof, boiler room and other common areas) and we paid over 1mn for the apt.
We also paid about $850. We have used George at Old Home Inspections – he’s wonderful.
No. We paid $800-900 for inspections on houses listed between $1.9 – 2.1. I think it was a flat fee. We loved the guy we worked with. The broker was a little annoyed at his “thoroughness.” He taught us a lot during the inspections.
Yes. We paid $800 to $950 (three different occasions) to inspect houses at half that price.
