A VA loan is noted as the seller’s current financing. A buyer who wants to know whether that loan could be taken over should ask the listing agent whether the seller’s loan can be assumed.
The listing gives the home as 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, 3,702 square feet of living space, a lot of 2.89 acres, built in 1957, a private pool, a composition and shingle roof, a septic system, a homeowners association fee of $40 a year, and solar power listed with the home. These figures are as listed and have not been checked.
The listing places it in the Fallbrook Union school district.
The current price comes to about $601 a square foot of living space. With 2.89 acres in the price, lot size drives that figure more than the house does, and a comparison with the city-wide median would mislead. Closed sales of homes on an acre or more in Fallbrook over the last 12 months had a median of $424 a square foot across 282 sales. Condition, the pool and how much of the land is usable all move the number, so treat it as a starting point.
What to check
These are general points, not statements about this home’s condition. An inspector and the seller’s disclosures answer them for this property.
- Septic system. A septic system is a buried tank and drain field in place of a city sewer line. A septic inspection, which usually includes pumping and checking the tank, is separate from a standard home inspection, so a buyer asks for it by name.
- Pool. A pool adds a pump, a filter, often a heater, and a safety barrier. A pool inspection checks the equipment, looks for leaks and reviews the surface, and it is separate from the home inspection.
- Solar panels. Ask whether the panels are owned or leased. A lease or power purchase agreement usually passes to the buyer, and its monthly payment becomes part of the cost of living in the home. Ask for the contract before the inspection period ends.
- Age of the home. Homes built before 1990 can still have original electrical panels, plumbing, windows and water heaters. An inspector can date each major system so a buyer can plan for what is likely to need replacing.
- Homeowners association. Ask for the association budget, the reserve study and the rules before the inspection period ends. Fees, special assessments and rules on things like parking or rentals change the real cost of owning the home.
Questions to ask the listing agent
These questions follow from the facts in the listing. The listing agent is the person to ask.
- Can the seller’s loan be assumed, and at what rate?
- When was the septic tank last pumped, and are there records of past inspections?
- Where are the lot lines, and are there easements, fences or shared roads on the land?
- How old are the pool equipment and the surface, and has the pool been serviced regularly?
- Are the panels owned or leased, and can the contract transfer to a buyer?
- Which major systems, such as the electrical panel, plumbing and water heater, have been replaced?
- Are there special assessments planned, and what does the association fee cover?
