DENVER, July 9, 2024 (Newswire.com) - American Home Inspectors Training (AHIT) by The CE Shop has been the leader in trusted, professional home inspection training courses and textbooks for over three decades.

According to Bankrate’s latest lender survey, mortgage rates slipped to 7.02% as of June 26. This provides a better outlook for the housing market, which in turn impacts home inspectors.
Home inspections are important because they can be a critical part of the buying and selling process and as a home inspector, it is important to be familiar with different types of houses.
The Federal Reserve has also signaled that it will have one rate cut this year, which will in turn affect real estate transactions. As real estate transactions go up, the demand for home inspectors is also expected to rise.
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors report having almost 27,000 members (as of 2023). With over 3 million active real estate licenses in the U.S., according to ARELLO, there is a huge opportunity for more home inspectors to serve the real estate industry. In fact, many real estate agents and brokers get trained in home inspection to give them an edge in their industry.
With no limit to the amount of income a home inspector can earn and having control over a work-life balance through flexible working hours, home inspectors can decide what kind of life they want and make a career blossom quickly with the right education and starting point.
The requirements to become a home inspector can easily be met through The CE Shop’s AHIT courses. While the requirements vary depending on each state, the startup costs for home inspection are remarkably low when compared to other career fields.
In 2023, 4.09 million existing homes were sold in the U.S., according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). According to data from the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), 77 percent of all homes are inspected before a purchase. This means 3,149,300 existing homes likely had inspections last year.
Benefits of becoming a home inspector include:
- Work-life balance, including deciding when to work
- Reliable income with the average home inspector making $70,000 annually, with the potential to make more depending on the number of homes inspected
