Patrick- Interesting article. If I am reading it correctly - the real estate prices here on Long Island should drop soon. Since the prices here are inflated, ($650K for a cape) this should stimulate the market and increase business. That works for me.

One should also be aware that, here in Illinois, only about 30 - 35% of the residential home sales have inspections. So that means that there will be a 65 - 70% increase in inspections when other people learn of the benefits of an inspection and / or when the state makes them manditory, as it is rumored to do, next year.
