Captain Obvious here. The OP is not buying a new home but rather a used home. There are important differences, the original owner would of had this new home punch list inspection done as well as a pre-warranty expiration inspection, or at the very least would have experienced problems which required repairs. In this case, in the SIX YEARS since construction.

I've had experience with the one-year warranty check, two items found, scant chalk on a weather protected window and the roof pipe vent lead shielding wasn't folded enough in the inspector's opinion, here again the guy had to find 'something'. Cost of inspection 350, value of repairs zero.
