Whether you should order a home inspection or not before listing depends on your situation.

If your home was built in the 1940s or 50s, you should probably get an inspection just so you know what’s going on with it. The buyer will order their own inspection anyway, so you don’t want a huge mess of problems to arise suddenly and scare them off.
If your home is old, you should probably order an inspection before listing.
Aside from the general home inspection, I typically always recommend that sellers in our area order a termite inspection, unless you have a bond. I also recommend ordering a heat and air inspection, unless your home’s units are fairly new and you’ve been servicing them regularly.
If your home is relatively new and you have been keeping it well-maintained, ordering an inspection is not as important. However, you still need to keep in mind that you don’t want any unexpected problems to pop up and make buyers think twice about purchasing.
