HELP NEEDED!!! Buy a house with foundation wall anchors install?

Ray Hong

Posted

We are shopping for our primary living house.

There are 2 houses in one location we are really like. One house located at a corner and does have the updates and designs we want. Bathrooms and kitchen are clean and designed lighting and wall paper. It adds stone decoration for interior walls in the living room. It also has a lot of other good attributes like hardwood floor, nice sun room outside, and small office set up. But it has 8 foundation wall anchors installed at 2000, with a transferable guarantee until 2050.

The other house is about 50 feet away and smaller, located in the middle of a ramp. Both houses Have 3bed and 2.5bath. This one does not have fancy designs and feathers., but it is livable. It also has 1 garage only and has a back yard with fair size. This one is about $20,000 cheaper than the first one.

My wife and I are frustrated on making a decision for these two houses. Will it be an issue for a house with foundation wall anchors when we resale the house? For the second house the garage and the ramp seem also to be concerns.

We need to make this decision asap (better be today)

Any input is valuable to us. Thanks a lot.
