Summary answer: On Woodbridge's "hot" listings — the ones going pending in around 21 days — waiving the inspection can genuinely matter. On the market's more typical listings (48 days, slightly under list), a standard inspection contingency is usually sufficient.
I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Here's how to think about this for Woodbridge specifically.
The spectrum of inspection approaches
| Approach | Fit for Woodbridge |
|---|---|
| Full contingency | Reasonable for typical, 48-day-pace listings |
| Inspection for information only | A strong middle ground |
| Full waiver | Worth considering specifically on "hot" listings |
Why VA buyers should think about this differently
If you're using a VA loan, the VA appraisal already includes a Minimum Property Requirements check.
