What the numbers mean if you're selling
Septic: Arizona requires a septic inspection by a qualified inspector within six months before the house transfers, and the buyer files a notice of transfer with Maricopa County within 15 days after closing.
Water: find out whether the house is on town water, a private water company, a shared or private well, or hauled water. The Arizona Department of Water Resources' Wells 55 registry shows registered wells. Water source affects which buyers and lenders will take the house.
Custom homes: iBuyers usually pass on non-standard homes, large lots, and unusual construction. Those are the houses where a local cash buyer is most useful, or where a good listing agent who knows the area is worth the commission.
