Home inspectors lack data on comparable defects in similar-age properties

Home inspectors have no easy way to contextualize findings (e.g., "is this 1985 roof condition typical for its age in this climate?"), forcing them to estimate severity subjectively. Clients then receive inspection reports without benchmarks, making it hard to distinguish between cosmetic issues and genuine structural problems that impact resale value.
