We had contracts on a few houses before we were finally able to purchase. In my experience, this is pretty common in RI. The real estate market is quite a bit more loose here. Very different here than many other states Many of the homes here are older and the sellers really don’t know the info. Even if your purchase isn’t contingent on an inspection, you can still have an inspection done and that should answer most of your questions.

Yeah but if the inspection is info only then whatever you find you can’t back out of the deal. Make it contingent.

There are other differences too. Where I moved from, the rules were strict and followed to the letter. In RI it is definitely not that way.
