I think that it is a combination of A.C. issues, and possibly insulation problems as well. The builder has a good reputation, and seems to have done a good job on our house. We haven't had any major issues since we moved in.
We were in a situation like this 6 years ago with a condo we bought. There was little to no insulation or noise proofing done. We could hear everything as if it was in the same room. Long story short builder bought our condo back. It does happen
If real estate prices have risen, possibly the builder would be glad to buy the house for the original purchase price. Then resell at a higher price. Possibly he verbally told the buyers that he would buy it back for orig price. If he has lots of buyers and not enough homes, he probably could sell it quickly.
They could always buy a window AC unit for that one room. Or one of those rolling units that don't go into a window(they have a vent the size of a dryer vent that could go into the window). Much cheaper than moving, though a window unit can be loud.
Thanks Copsgirl73 for the input, and all the rest of you posters, as well. I guess it depends on the builder, and the situation. Have to see what this builders next move is.
There is no reason the neighbor cannot get an independent opinion/inspection. At least then they will have either an answer the builder can work with or proof that something is amiss that the builder won't fix. It isn't that expensive, I would have them do it immediately.
The only way to "give it back" to the builder is to default on the loan and have a foreclosure on their record or go to court and sue. Unless the builder is very cooperative and takes it back just on their own good will...hah!

Our builder took it back, we didnt default on any payments nor did we threaten to sue. I think they wanted to prevent the situation from getting that bad. Plus when we showed them what the problems were in our condo they pretty much couldnt say no

They obviously didn't "take it back" there was some type of process. Did they buy the house back from you? You had a closing? New deeds? etc.

Well obviously. I figured I would spare readers 3 pages of the details. My point is we didnt have to miss payments or threaten to sue anyone in order to get the process going.
