Clients want to sell their home, but the neighbor across the street is apparently throwing garbage in his (the neighbor’s yard) to make the home less attractive to potential buyers. I do not make this up. Does the client have to disclose this situation to prospective buyers? My answer is no, as a seller must disclose only those items not readily observable by a prospective buyer, which matters materially impact the value of the home. A buyer can see the condition of the home across the street so there is no issue, and nothing need be disclosed as to this matter in a contract for sale.
