New Massachusetts Home Inspection Law Update (Video)

Attention homebuyers and sellers: Massachusetts’ home inspection laws are changing. In this quick video, I break down what’s new, how it could impact your next deal, and the steps to take now to stay on track.

Key Takeaways from the New Law

The new home inspection law in Massachusetts takes effect for home sales with contracts signed on or after October 15, 2025

Sellers or their agents cannot:

Sell a home on the condition that a buyer waive their right to a home inspection. 

Accept an offer if they are informed in advance that the buyer intends to waive their inspection rights. Both the buyer and seller must sign a written disclosure that explicitly states the buyer’s right to hire a licensed home inspector and have time to decide based on the results.

The new inspection law may affect timing, negotiations, and contingencies.

Working with an experienced real estate agent or team will make the process easier.
