“ONE OF THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE 90’S,”
says Entrepreneur Magazine about the rapidly
growing field of home inspection. “One of
America’s 50 Hottest Jobs” is how Money Magazine
describes the profession.
Home Inspection in Ontario is growing at a fast
pace and soon most home buyers will do it.
THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IS THRIVING.
According to the National Association of
Realtors, the last two years have broken
all previous records for home sales, and there
are no signs of that abating. People are
feeling confident in a prosperous economy. The
population is growing, and new generations want
their share of the dream of owning a
home.
Government initiatives have spurred home
purchases with lower rates and easier
terms. Home buying is definitely on the upswing.
 THE
BUSINESS POTENTIAL IS EXCELLENT.
While the numbers are indeed growing, industry
experts estimate that barely
50% of the homes sold in the U.S. and Canada
today are inspected prior to purchase. This
means that the market is still underserved, and
that the remaining growth potential is enormous.
Capital investment and overhead to run a home
inspection business are minimal, which makes
this a potentially lucrative small business or
transitional career for individuals who are
prepared with the proper technical and marketing
skills. |

CONSUMER DEMAND IS GROWING.
The consumer movement has spawned a new breed of savvy
and demanding
buyers, ones who
want to know all they can about their prospective
purchases before they make their final decisions.
Word of mouth and extensive media publicity have also
helped to raise the public’s awareness of the benefits
of
home inspections.
Even the real estate industry, with the spread of
property
condition disclosure laws, has played a role in
increasing consumer demand.
