Last time I heard the US was in a buyers market. Whether the home owner
"has" to replace it or not does not mean it can't be negotiated in the

For the cost of installing a main disconnect or a new panel I think the
piece of mind would be worth it.




But I don't think the seller is obligated to pay for it since split bus
panels are certainly code compliant.

It seems way to common anymore for "home inspectors" to decide that
everything should be as if it were done last week according to current
practices.



Hi,
Last year here, people were buying houses without even seeing it. Price
was going up by the day. Most were paying over the list price just to
get it. No time for inspection or such. Now that craze is cooling off.
My neighbor's house, ~2400 sqf 2 story built in 1994 at a cost of ~250K
was sold for 1.25 million 2 months ago. That is what hot economy brought
us, high inflation, high wages, extreme housing shortage, population
influx, increased crime rate, etc. I don't see anything exciting in it.
