@All:
Getting an inspection is very important AND it doesn't matter how new the home is...or how nice the sellers are
The point of an inspection is not to convince you that so much is wrong with the house that you are discouraged to buy it. It is rather to give you an accurate depiction of the current condition of the house, as well as an idea of how certain things will hold up in the future.
I've always gone ahead and paid for a home warranty as well on every house I've bought. Most are $300-$400/yr.
Couple of national companies like American Home Shield
