The housing market’s meteoric rise in sale prices during the pandemic has led to a cautionary tale. During the past 15 months, many residential buyers found themselves out-bid on their “dream home.” Others, due to the real estate frenzy, were prevented from making an offer. As a result, eager buyers fearful of missing out on that next home began: (1) waiving home inspections; (2) releasing the three-day attorney review period; (3) not requesting Sellers Disclosure Statements and (4) buying properties sight unseen. However, if you did waive one or more of your rights listed above, don’t panic. You still have rights under the laws in New Jersey, your Real Estate Contract, and any transferrable warranties or repair/replacement guarantees that flowed to you as the purchaser of that home.
