Because we GAVE the HOUSE AWAY….We won’t be fixing anything… It’s a new day in real estate….wake up and smell the….”I don’t have to if I don’t want to” take the weeds with the flowers….the bad with the good…”I had to give my house away and I don’t care what it is, I am not fixing it’ attitude.
OUCH ! Says the buyer who may or may not have offered a “fair price”. Maybe he/she/they were guided to make the offer based upon the similar sold properties in the neighborhood with the assistance of the Buyers’ agent. Maybe they were under the hypnosis of the mass media and the “It’s a Buyer’s Market” mantra.
It was their expectation that they are willing to pay a price the Sellers found acceptable….and didn’t expect strings with their accepted offer that could tie them to a house of defects…..they could walk away of course….A Notice of Defects does that in Wisconsin allows the Buyers to walk from a contract when defects are found that they feel are too much to repair. Buyers here can choose to allow the Seller to “have the right to cure” …or not.
To a Seller who feels that the Buyers have beat them up on price….never mind the market, that the property may have been priced too high and may well not appraise anyway….that there may have been deferred maintenance…the Seller still believes sometimes,, that they “rule” and golly gee whiz never mind all those contributing factors….this is the only available tourniquet to stop any further financial bleeding.
Now, those “defects” found during the inspection that the Sellers(s) refused to fix…in Wisconsin, become a part of an “Amendment to the Condition Report.” Any prospective buyers thereafter are aware of the conditions…and now Every Buyer knows…what “as is” really means….the castle without correction may well be for sale for a very long time.
