    Selling A Home with Material Defects

    Selling a home with material defects…what does that mean? A material defect is anything that affects the value of real property. As a homeowner, if you are aware of any items that are considered a material defect you are required to disclose it to all potential buyers.

    You can sell your home if you have material defects even without repairing them. How?

    1. Discuss pricing with your real estate professional by comparing recent sales and making a value adjustment to compensate for the repairs needed
    2. Complete a seller’s disclosure prior to offer acceptance; this protects you
    3. Understand that some buyers will try to get a deal even if they know it is priced with repairs in mind. Try not to be offended (easier said than done)
    4. If you find out there is a repair after offer acceptance during a buyer’s inspection period, update your seller’s disclosure

    Do you have questions about selling your home with a bad roof, polybutylene plumbing or other issue? Let’s talk and come up with a plan.
