Summary answer: Given Tysons' genuine bifurcation — some segments rated "very competitive" at 34-40 days, others averaging 130 days — waiving the inspection may make sense specifically on well-priced, fast-moving listings, but a standard contingency (plus a condo document review) is reasonable on the market's slower-moving inventory.
I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Here's how to think about this for Tysons specifically.
The spectrum of inspection approaches
| Approach | Fit for Tysons |
|---|---|
| Full contingency | Reasonable on the market's more typical, slower-paced listings |
| Inspection for information only | A strong middle ground |
| Full waiver | Worth considering specifically on confirmed fast-moving, well-priced listings |
Don't skip the condo document review, even if waiving inspection
In a condo purchase, reviewing HOA financials and reserve studies is separate from a physical inspection — this deserves attention regardless of your inspection strategy.
