On June 6, the state finalized new Home Inspection Regulations that will reshape how inspections, contingencies, and repair negotiations are handled in real estate transactions. These rules go into effect for contracts signed after October 15, 2025 โ and theyโll directly affect buyers, agents, and inspectors alike.
Hereโs a quick breakdown of whatโs changing:
๐น More flexibility for buyers and sellers to negotiate inspection timing
๐น New exemptions (including new construction)
๐น Clearer liability rules for real estate agents
๐น Updates that redefine how inspection contingencies and repair estimates are managed
