Revisions to the Real Estate Condition Report and Vacant Land Disclosure Reports - 2022Recent legislation clarifies a prior inconsistency in the statutes as far as buyers who rescind their offer being entitled to the return of their earnest money. A buyer who should have, in accordance with Wis. Stat. § 709.02, but who does not receive a Real Estate Condition Report (RECR) or Vacant Land Disclosure Report (VLDR) within 10 days after acceptance of their offer has rescission rights. That buyer may, within two business days after the end of that 10-day period, rescind the offer by written notice. The new legislation states that beginning April 1, 2022, that buyer is entitled to the return of their earnest money. Wis Stat. § 709.02 previously did not provide that the buyer was entitled to their earnest money in this circumstance. Another change addressed under the new legislation is the situation where a seller puts a huge "X" on each page of the RECR or VLDR, or places a diagonal line through each page of the report rather than answering the questions. Starting April 1, 2022, these reports will be considered incomplete; a report will be considered complete only if the seller answers or supplies information for each item on the report. A buyer who receives a report that is incomplete may, within two business receipt of that report, rescind their offer in writing and is entitled to the return of their earnest money. The legislation also adopts changes and additions to the disclosure items in the RECR and VLDR. These items have been in italics in the WRA's RECR and VLDR for over a year. The italics will be removed on April 1, 2022, and July 1, 2022, for the riparian rights disclosures. In the WRA's RECR, the following language addressing private rights of way, piers on flowages and FIRPTA that is currently in italics will become part of the statutory disclosure language: F8. Other than public rights of way, are you aware of nonowners having rights to use part of the property, including, but not limited to, private rights of way and easements other than recorded utility easements? F17m. Are you aware of a written agreement affecting riparian rights related to the property?EducationAppraiser CE Classes: Feb 1st and 2nd, Green BayThe 2022-23 biennium for Wisconsin real estate appraisers is about to begin.
