标 题: urgent help with a house purchase problem
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Thu Aug 13 16:25:16 2015, 美东)
All contingencies have been removed by now, and escrow will close in three
weeks. The house is of one-floor, but there is a finished studio of 250 sqft
on the second floor of the garage (with a closet, no bath, but permitted).
The studio can serve as a nice study, but can only be accessed from the
backyard, not from the inside of the house.
The listing says the footage is 1800, and I was told the studio is an
additional bonus room. When we made offer (more than 1M), one of the reasons
why we were willing to accept a crazy price was the bonus room, besides
excellent location. I happened to read closely the appraisal report, and
found out the 1800 footage includes the bonus room. This means the real
footage of the house is 1550 sqft. 250 difference is just too much. I'm
considering what action I should take and what option I will have. Any
suggestions and advices are highly appreciated. |

暖气，city 或者county里面去查下有算进去的话，卖家可以算进总面积里面。Bonus
room一般指房屋里面的一家可以做活动的多用途房间，不是白送你的一间房间，英文水
平需要提高啊。当然，如果当时卖方agent说这间房间是没有算在总面积里面的“bonus
”,那有误导的可能性。

这个吧，楼主就是有点心理不平衡，其实这也没啥，你当初决定的时候，自己感觉是物
有所值的啊，变的不是房子的面积，而是自己的心态。 自己再好好衡量一下？ |

发帖数: 977 | 6 I would not say 心理不平衡. We offered a crazy price when we thought it is
1800 plus the bonus room. This price is already the highest by $/sqft by all
means in that city, and we were willing to pay at this price because we
really like it. But that does not mean we do not have a limit on what we
should pay. With 1550 sqft, the house price is ridiculous. If we knew it was
1550, we would not offer or accept that price at all.

发帖数: 15615 | 11 房子不能只看per square foot。 这不是买菜，一周之内就吃掉了。就像他自己说的，
按1800算是最高的，而且估价也是合理的，那说明也没有太离谱。
心态还是心态。 |

value.

发帖数: 977 | 13 An additional bonus room was one of main reasons we justified this price. I'
m fine with it, if the bonus room can be accessed directly from the house.
But it is not convenient to get in this bonus room from the main house.

到了你这步会和City或者County的planning看下加建部分是否符合Building Code, 这
