When are sellers disclosures usually given

[infoseeker]

I read in the contracts somewhere that sellers are obligated to send in their disclosures 7 days after offer acceptance. But usually what is the normal time frame for disclosures here in San Diego. I hear that in Midwest, seller disclosures are given even before offer is made; I think it should be like that here that way as well so that buyers make a calculated offer price or decide not to even make an offer. Anyways for the home we recently backed out from, the sellers sent the disclosure after 4 days of offer acceptance (after numerous pinging) just the evening before our inspection when I pressurized saying that I will postpourne the inspection otherwise. Actually the disclosures were all dated a month ago (so looks like the seller or the agent was purposely holding it). If I had the disclosure a day or 2 earlier I might have saved on the inspection cost. Just wanted to know the disclosure time trend so that I can have a clear timeline next time. My realtor says usually disclosures are given on the day of inspection… I wanted to double check in this forum.

I agree that seller disclosure should be made available even before the offer is made. It would advantageous to the seller too, because you would get more serious offers from buyer (since they know what they’re getting into), and presumably less buyers retracting their offer because of something in the disclosure.
Can you think of reasons against sellers disclosing prior to offer acceptance? Privacy?

Typically, they are due within one week of offer acceptance.
I don’t provide them beforehand because if the house waits too long, sometimes things change and so the disclosures need to be updated.
Though honestly there is nothing wrong with having them available before marketing the house.

I haven’t sold in California… but I sold in Washington State and in Pennsylvania. In both cases I had to fill out disclosure information as part of the listing package. So the listing agent had all the disclosure information before it was listed.

(Both homes were over 100 years old – so there was disclosure.)
