Wishful thinking. Just in the month of May I was low-balled by $125 and $250 respectively.

Same here! I have basically packed up the IR and raised my basic home inspection fees back up and am basically taking a "working vacation" by doing just basic home inspection like everybody else.
I had a $2600 inspection where I was talked down to $1900. I said sure! The guy wanted an engineer to do the inspection but couldn't find one. So I threw in a "no holds barred full-blown inspection"(building, HVAC (x14), IR Interior, IR Flat roof) quote. He commenced to try to talk me down. So I said sure I just won't make the second trip out to do a nighttime thermal imaging evaluation. So he turned around and settled for a basic home inspection on a commercial building by somebody else who isn't even qualified to inspect residential properties. Oh well, that's the market these days. At least I've got work coming out of my ears! I just need to learn to control myself and not carry anything more than a flashlight into the inspection...

Here's one from today. This is a wall chase in a garage that conceals a 3 inch plumbing vent. The vent stack flashing for this vent is split and leaking. The staining was visible and I didn't need IR but just wanted to highlight what can be found with virtually no DT other than what nature provides. The home has no AC and has been sitting for a year. The stain created an evaporative cooling effect. Having a camera with good thermal sensitivity helps as well. This image was not manipulated at all and the camera was in the auto mode.
