Yes. The purchase of a home is the largest investment most people will make in their life time. The cost of a home inspection is minor in comparison, and can help provide additional peace of mind whether buying a home that is pre-owned or newly constructed. Even in newly constructed homes, it is not uncommon to find problems or unfinished conditions. Builders are typically required to provide some type of warranty on a newly built home, but finding and correcting conditions before taking possession can save the homeowner future headaches.
