Buying House with loud road noise

[John Weidner]

Just had an offer on a house to flip. Front of the house was quiet, no noise inside. Back yard backed up to a busy road with cars going by at 45-55mph. Constant traffic. Very heavy road noise in the back yard that was at random times as a car would go by, not a constant hum like a major highway

I think it would have an effect on resale.

The person I was going to partner with says it would have no effect.

Mute point as our offer was not accepted. But curious on everyone's opinion for future reference.

As an agent I consider it External Oblesence and it would detract some buyers. ARV was $390K

Good you passed on this. More negatives than positives on this deal. I definitely feel your price will be reduced when you sell. People are funny; some don't care but some it will be a huge deal. Like you said; glad the numbers didn't work. Better to wait for a better deal and not get desperate to make this deal work.
