OP, you can shop around and probably find a lower price, or you can even skip the inspection altogether. But, if you hire an inspector, make sure it is one who has done a lot of inspections in The Villages, so they are familiar with Villages construction and typical issues. Also, there are some inspectors who will do a mostly cosmetic inspection, which will be worthless. This is one case where you really do get what you pay for. Also, most home inspection contracts provide no liability of the inspector, unless you pay a lot extra for "error and omissions" insurance. It is not included in their basic contract.
