I recently closed on purchase of this home with some buyers.
Located in northern Ogden in the Mountain Road Estate subdivision, this home had a complete interior remodel done prior to it going on the market. The home was listed on March 23rd for $157,900. We viewed the property on the 25th and the home had gone under contract at that time with another buyer. However, we liked the home so much, we decided to place a backup offer.
Two weeks later, we received a call that the financing for the first buyer had fallen through. We immediately refreshed our offer with the sellers and placed the home under contract for a purchase price of $155,000 and asking for $4,500 in closing costs. Our offer was accepted.
However, during our due diligence, a closer inspection of the property revealed a few shortcomings. One of the significant problems involved the grade of the driveway which had cracked and settled almost 4 inches in the direction of the home. We missed this point during our initial walk through because we had parked on the driveway. Our inspector caught the problem. A lot of concrete needed to be removed and repoured so we asked for a $3,000 reduction in price. The seller agreed.
We closed very quickly on this home at a final sale price of $152,000.
