I inspect many newly built homes and have found my clients appreciate the 3rd party inspection. Most home builders have their representative do a walk thru prior to closing with the buyer and many times do not completly or properly inspect the home. I do however have the oppurtunity in many cases to inspect the home while being built (custom built homes) and can point out defeciencies while in progress. So yes you should get a home inspection no matter the age.

Any new construction inspected in Ga must be performed by an ICC Certified Inspector. Make sure that your inspector has that certification.

Typical new home will have less than 8 code issues and over 40 workmanship issues.
Make sure your inspector will report workmanship and cosmetic items, many don't have the eye for it, especially the code oriented inspectors. I do a lot of new homes due to client referrals. All clients that had other inspectors on previous homes said many problems were not reported. Even those required by the state SOP.
