Aren't these a requirement for new construction ? I have been doing work for realitors in city of Phila mostly row homes 50plus yrs old. Some have knob and tube most had there brother in law or someone change a receptacle or two along the way, get a reversed polarity, here old appliance there, handyman connections etc. whatever. I have a home inspector who is asking for AFCI breakers which I already know the client can't afford yet alone the headache and can of worms it will create with nuisance tripping if they hold at all. Basicly the question is are they mandatory when selling your home or is this guy just trying to get more money for his client ?
