Move on to other things, this is a nothing burger

I probably will. It's not a huge sum of money (about $1800) but still think maybe it's worth pursuing in small claims court and represent myself. The jury is still out on that one though ( ). Sent the demand for payment letter today certified and they will get it tomorrow. I'll just see what they say (if anything).

thanks to everyone for the advice and insight!

I suppose. But since the house was built in 2002 it makes sense that it is 17 years old as the inspection showed. Unless you're suggesting they installed a furnace manufactured 14 years earlier into their house 3 years ago?

I was referring to the reason why he stated "unsure" on his updated disclosure. I always put "unknown" on anything I'm not sure about on the seller's disclosure.

Changing the disclosure to Unsure is what I would do, unless I wanted to hire my own inspector.

I wouldn't change it to 17 years based on what the buyer's inspector said.

Before doing that I would want a 2nd opinion, and in NC wouldn't bother - just say Unsure.
