Why is the seller selling and how long have they lived there?

The seller's reason for selling and how long they have lived in the home are often disclosed in the listing remarks or can be shared by the listing agent. Common reasons include relocation, upsizing or downsizing, estate sales, or financial circumstances. How long the seller has owned the property is public record and can be found through the Maricopa County Assessor or title company records. Knowing this context can sometimes help you understand the property's condition and the seller's motivation, but it does not replace a thorough inspection and review of the Seller's Property Disclosure Statement during your inspection period.
