When I say kiss of death defects, it is with tongue planted in cheek. But it surely seems that way when you've got buyers who search online for their answers. Because you're unlikely, for example, to find a lot of discussion about sewer line manufacturers. Speaking of which, some sewer lines should never have been built, like orangeburg. So yes, orangeburg is the kiss of death.
What else? Zinsco electrical panels. Although with those, it's only certain models, and not all of them are defective. Plus, what bothers one buyer doesn't upset another. I had a buyer walk away from a transaction after trying to force the seller to pay $14,000 to rewire his home and install a different electrical panel. We gave the same reports to the next buyer who didn't give a crap.
And then we have Kitec pipes. You can read more about this in my personal blog today at this link: Kitec Plumbing Did Not Impede Sale of Bridgeway Island Home.
