Any foundation pros willing to give a guess?

Unless you are getting a hell of a deal… I wouldn’t even think about it.
That is nothing but trouble that WILL HAPPEN down the line.

Thank you very much! The backyard is amazing but it's a 3/2 and I don't have 20k for repairs

It’s been there 30 years?
Odds are it will be there 30+ more.

Nothing a couple rolls of duct tape and a few well placed zip ties couldn't fix

Makes sense, my car is a 2004 and that's how it's surviving

Tough to say without an inspector looking at it or structural engineer. I am in no way an expert, but as a long time homeowner my experience is that something is always going to cost you money, so why get something that you know is going to be an expensive repair. If it already looks suspect there's probably more issues you don't see. That's the fun part.

I’d hold out until you have it inspected and then reduce your offer by the repair cost plus 20%.

I know AFS is high but they have a 25yr transferable warranty, I used them on a house in Auburn that had a major slab issue and required multiple sump pumps installed… sold that house for a pretty penny too!
