📊 What We're Seeing: A 36% gap!

Every week we cross-reference seller disclosures against inspection reports. The gap is consistent.

The numbers

  • Average seller transparency score: 64/100
  • That means roughly 36% of issues the inspector identifies were not mentioned in the disclosure
  • This is not necessarily fraud — sellers may not know. But the gap is where your negotiation power lives.

How to use this

If a seller said "no known plumbing issues" and the inspector finds corroded pipes, that is a stronger position than negotiating on something already disclosed. Read the disclosure before the inspection, then compare line by line afterward.
