“Undetectable Pre-Existing Condition”
With the first 90º day forecast this season (tomorrow, in fact), Twin Cities homeowners will soon know if their central a/c works.
That includes recent home buyers, who purchased earlier this year when chilly local temps (who’da thunk?) prevented testing their units.
Fortunately, Buyers who negotiated for their Seller to include a home warranty — or popped for one themselves — needn’t worry.
Good policies include a standard line item covering “undetectable pre-existing conditions.”
P.S.: Agents (myself included) are big fans of such policies.
Not only do they help prevent any post-closing headaches, but they lower the stakes for the Buyer’s inspection, which invariably goes more smoothly as a result.
