It's not open and obvious.

The sellers certainly think it's material. They think the buyers would back out if they knew.

VA doesn’t require a seller to disclose noisy neighbors.

If you're in a townhouse complex then you must have an HOA to register complaints. My co-worker lived in a townhouse and the rules were: if there were more than 2 complaints about a barking dog, you had to get rid of it.

I, too, lived in a townhouse complex and there are discreet ways to drive your neighbors out of there. I did it one time, no damage whatsoever. Just very, very clever and imaginative.

I'm with NoiseFreeAmerica and I will not, will not tolerate unwarranted noise!

It's probably up to the buyers to decide about noise. I don't remember ever seeing anything on a disclosure form about neighborhood noise. However, if the seller deliberately disguises the noise, I would consider that to be deliberate fraud and it might possibly cause a lawsuit. It is openly trying to deceive the buyer.


Possibly the buyer is buying the unit for a rental and he doesn't care about noisy neighbors.

A bit off topic, but for future buyers of condos, if you don't like noise, look for a building that doesn't allow rentals. A few owner occupieds can be noisy, but nothing like having a bunch of tenants surrounding you.

No go to google and research who the people are in your building. Single women = quiet.

From what I have read they likely needed to disclose this. And it probably does not help that they are going on line and admitting to the problem.

Every seller is required to disclose to buyers any known issues with the neighborhood or situations that might impact the home’s value. This can include, but isn’t limited to:
  • noise problems
  • particularly nasty neighbors
  • pending lawsuits
  • barking dogs
  • or anything that might potentially impact the property’s value
