I had no idea about the driveway situation on that block. What a mess! Is that common on other blocks in DT Cary?
Still a great block, but changing so rapidly.
Well, it can happen anywhere.
I have a friend who had 5 lots listed with a small builder several years ago. N Raleigh or Wake Forest, I forget.
The survey and plat were messed up and all 5 driveways were encroaching next door and the builder wanted to fix it.
And... The feller who had bought the house in the middle balked at having his driveway moved. It was tense for a while.

Sadly there is no way Ms Tyson is getting her deposit back or any compassion from Lennar Builders if she has to back out...
I didn't read how far along her new home was? Lennar COULD refund her deposit, because of the publicity or they could hold her deposit and apply it to another home, after this mess is taken care of.
If the home is that desirable, and seller now discloses the issue, it may mean less to another buyer?
The article leaves me with so many questions!
I looked up house on MLS. Lot is .31 acre. House sold in 5 days. I can understand this being an issue with the current buyer BUT...if disclosed NOW, will the next buyer care? House is possibly a tear down.
I had a similar issues about 18 years ago. We were not in a seller's market and buyer walked. My seller (who purchased home directly from builder/onsite agent) was given a "proposed survey" and didn't know the difference. She built a HUGE screen porch around a HUGE hot tub. New buyer had survey and discovered HUGE screen porch was halfway into common area of neighborhood. HUGE screen porch had to be cut in half. Buyer declined to buy. Took us quite a while to sell, after that, but it was a buyer's market so typically, homes were taking 4 to 6 months to sell.
I did a drive-by yesterday...
Had to get the spouse out of the house.
And, I wonder.
"What did he know, and when did he know it?"
Did HE have a survey performed when he bought in 1998?
It seems like he would have had to pay cash to not get a survey. I mean, if there was a bank involved, wouldn’t they require a survey?
