Throw some carpet over it, it's fine.

You’re lucky you’re in the chandelier  rather than the foundation business.

I’ll guess recent “build”, Bellevue, listed at 900K, will sell for 1MM even.

Nothing surprises me in residential construction. The texture of that concrete is very odd. Looks to have been very wet when poured. It’s a broom finish but it looks crazy thin and I dint see any aggregate.

The texture of that concrete does not speak to its quality.

May or may not be recent

May or may not be Bellevue

May or may not be 1.8MM

I haven’t seen a crack like that since the plumbers came through.

Let me guess: quick cookie cutter build?

Oooof. Sorry to see that! If it were me, fill the cracks and run thicker carpet.

Yeah, either...

a) the pour was so old that the code requirement for reinforcing bar wasn’t on the books yet... OR>....

b) The developer cut some serious corners on “code compliance”.

Locally down here in Santa Barbara the western reaches of town were growing fast in the early 1960s as UCSB and Raytheon (Hughes at that time) were booming. And there were steel shortages... so the builders got “creative” on complying with code inspections on, say, 20 tract homes with only enough re-bar to put in the foundations of, say, 3 houses.

Spider cracking started within months, cracks like those in 5 years.... in 50 years there were massive voids in the foundations. Figure $200K to remediate it down here, if done to 2020 code compliance.

Yes but instead of cookies, they may have cut corners

Drop a diamond saw into it with impunity... I guarantee there’s no steel in there either...

It’s seriously awful. That pervasive boomtown mentality... I have no clue why housing isn’t dirt cheap here, regardless of the employment opportunities.

Home ownership in some areas around Seattle is almost like a cult. Gotta “own”, no matter the price or the way these places are built.

I still my friend’s house in suburban Atlanta - typical kind of middle American tract house, seemed to be made out of cardboard and compressed oatmeal. However, it was stupid cheap - I am not sure the standards are any better here, but you’ll pay many times more.

Happens all the time. That’s why they make crack sealant. Further, you could float the floor after the cracks are sealed and you’d never know.

Of course you can’t do that because they already hung the baseboard which in a high end residential application is an odd choice.

This building does not look to be the requisite 50+ years old for me to not think that’s a major problem
