Should I get an inspection on a Faribault home built in the last 10 years?

Yes. Newer construction on Faribault's growing edges, away from the historic core, generally has fewer age-related issues, but builders make mistakes and corners get cut, and you don't want to discover them after closing. We routinely find problems on newer homes: improper attic ventilation, missing flashing, grading that slopes toward the foundation, plumbing not fully connected, electrical work that doesn't meet code, HVAC sizing issues, and incomplete punch-list items the builder skipped. Even a recent build in our climate can have ice-dam vulnerabilities from rushed insulation work. And because Rice County has high radon, a newer home should still be tested even if it has a passive radon system roughed in, since passive systems don't always perform. An independent inspection gives you leverage to make the builder fix items before they become your responsibility. Don't assume new means flawless.
