Arizona Home Inspection Period Explained

The inspection period is one of the most important phases of any Arizona real estate transaction. Here's what buyers and sellers need to know.

In Arizona, the standard purchase contract includes an inspection period — typically 10 days — during which the buyer can conduct due diligence on the property. This period allows buyers to hire licensed inspectors to evaluate the home's condition.

Common inspections include a general home inspection, roof inspection, HVAC evaluation, pool inspection, and pest inspection. Buyers may also want to test for radon or conduct a sewer scope depending on the property.

After inspections are complete, buyers can request repairs, ask for a price reduction, or cancel the contract within the inspection period. Understanding your rights and options during this phase is critical to a successful transaction.
