How many problems is normal in a home inspection?
Your report has 80 findings and you're panicking. Take a breath — that's often completely normal.
Long lists are the norm
Inspectors document everything they observe, down to a missing outlet cover or a dripping hose bib — partly to be thorough, partly for liability. A 60–100 item report on an older home is common and usually describes a fundamentally sound house with a lot of small stuff.
Triage, don't tally
The count is meaningless; the composition is everything. Five safety/major-system items (roof, foundation, electrical, HVAC, sewer) matter far more than 70 cosmetic notes. Sort by what costs real money and what's a safety issue; let the rest go.
Turn the pile into a number
The fastest way out of report-panic is to convert it into dollars: what's the real near-term repair burden, and how does it compare to the home's value? That single number — not the item count — is what you negotiate and decide on. It's exactly what this tool was built to produce.
