When is the best time of year to inspect a home in Woodbury?

You can inspect a Woodbury home any month, but Minnesota's seasons change what's visible. Spring, summer, and fall are ideal because the inspector can walk the roof, run the central air conditioning, check exterior grading and drainage, and operate exterior faucets without freeze risk. Winter inspections are completely doable, since plenty of homes close in the cold months here, but snow and ice can limit roof access, hide grading and drainage problems, and prevent testing the AC because running it below about 60 degrees can damage the compressor. Winter does have a silver lining: it's the best time to spot active ice dams forming at the eaves and to feel drafts and attic heat loss that cause them. Frozen ground also masks how water drains around the foundation. A good inspector notes seasonal limitations in the report and recommends follow-up where needed.
