I wouldn't touch that house either. Way overpriced and likely shoddy workmanship.
It is the same reason I have no interest in a spec house or recent construction. We ended up having our first house build. The builder carried the construction loan but we specified a lot of the details. EVERYTHING in the original spec was the cheapest contractor grade crap you could get. We ended up adding about 10% to the price with some basic upgrades. I finally had to tell the builder to stop telling me what was code. I explained that code was the legal minimum allowed by law and I didn't want the bare minimum.
Our second was a spec house be bought 7 years after construction. When it was 10 years old all the major systems started failing: Roof, heat pump, water heater, etc.
Our current house we specifically looked for an older house that would at least have good bones. It needed some work but I could have it done right instead of having to rip out someone else's "renovation".
