Just a few examples; "buy now before the build out is complete", selling seven year old rental homes as "new" homes, daily advertisements for new homes with prices NOT including the several thousand dollars bond.
And what you are describing has nothing to do with an independent Realtors here! The disclosure laws are only enforced for Realtors! Yes I did see courtyards being sold as new when they're 7 to 8 years old! But they are not listed with a Realtor!
