As many homes sit unfinished here in the Beaverton / Tigard area after builders were stuck with inventory they couldn’t sell, many buyers saw money savings in their eyes. Now that some of these homes are coming on the market, these buyers are thinking the savings could be even bigger than they ever thought.
But, there is something that these buyers are forgetting. In many areas these homes would be considered a steal and all you have to do to own them is finish them. But, here in the Oregon we are known for our rain.When these homes were originally started they didn’t use treated wood to build these homes, why would they? This would was intended to be inside walls not outside in the elements.
So, now you have a home that has been sitting through one or two winters getting rain, snow, hail and whatever else hit us during that time. This does some serious damage to that wood that can soon be yours at a discounted price.
Now, that discounted price may not be enough to pay for having all that damaged wood replaced which is exactly what may have to happen. If not, you could be stuck with a house that’s life expectancy could be far less than that of a newer built home that didn’t sit in the rain and snow of a winter or two.
