Hi ,


This is getting nuts.


What do you mean nuts?!
As I already described all houses in our area are listed lower price
and always described as rebuilt if they are rebuilt. And one of the
thing I am trying to find out if it is possible to ask the seller step
down a little... I bet if he listed the house as rebuilt the price
would be lower.

Why would THIS foundation be any better if the house had NOT been
rebuilt. What evidence is there that there is anything WRONG with it.
The present house has been there how long????

Well, it's suspicios at the least, why the seller did not desclose it
and even more suspicion why the house was rebuilt that early.


At this point the Buyer needs to demonstrate that they will suffer
some harm from the foundation being older. They need to show they
were harmed by not finding this out earlier.

That's true, if the seller demonstrates that the house is clean of any
problems and simply happened to be rebuilt on a bit older foundation
yes I would not have any problems to buy it.


Okay so maybe they can get out of the contract if they squawk enough.
But to me expecting to continue to buy but get a lower price is a
little much. Who knows, maybe the Seller is highly motivated and
would make a concession to save the sale. But maybe not.

I still like the house, and if the seller shows all documents
supporting he's words I'll buy the house, but from my experience, if
people are hiding something at the first place, very offten they keep
lieing to you to the end.
I am just trying to avoid bigger problem if there is any....


I am not seeing a problem here. There *could* be one under some
far-fetched scenario, but what is it besides speculation here.

Thanks for sharing your opinion anyway, it is always good to have more
then one head :-)
