[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's not a new build---the listing says it was built in the 1950s. [/b]The interior isn't so bad. It just needs a decor make-under, starting with the lighting fixtures.[/quote] This is an important distinction. Until recently only one wall needed to stay standing for a home to be considered a remodel. If at any point that wall fell it would be considered a new build. The old wall is under there somewhere. The distinction matters for the builder because a new build requires the builder to register as a developer and pay certain fees and follow other regulations. It also requires a new home warranty to convey. These types of builders never say it’s a new build and the date should always be the original year even though it’s almost 99% new construction. So in builds like this, buyer beware a little extra. (Also, I’m remembering this from permits department comments and I may have some details incorrect.)[/quote]
