Unpopular opinion: I skipped the home inspection on my condo in Tampa and it was the best decision I made.

Everyone told me I was crazy, but the unit was a 2018 build and the seller had all the original builder warranties. I saved $500 on the inspection fee and closed in 21 days. The real risk was losing the place to another buyer. Has anyone else gambled on a newer build like this?

That 2018 build date is basically the condo equivalent of a car with the new car smell still hanging on. You got lucky the factory didn't forget to install a wall.

Used to think anything built after 2010 was basically disposable. Then my buddy bought a 2019 unit and the difference is wild. No weird creaks, the finishes actually feel solid, and everything still works like it should. Makes me get the hype now.
