Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
If you purchase a home in area that has intensely high winds, are the home builders required to disclose this before you purchase and build a new home with them? My family and I purchased a home and tried to do all of the research possible but were unaware that months out of the year our home would be ravaged by constant, unrelenting, gale-force winds. It has wreaked havoc on our sleep and the sleep of or very young daughter because of the constant noise. We cannot have any outdoor furniture or even enjoy our backyard for that matter because things (even if secured properly) have been damaged, or blown away. The stress is taking its toll and we would lose a great deal of money if we try to sell the home and move. We feel extremely misled in many ways by Meritage Homes. Do we have any legal options?

The challenge would be proving the builder knew of the weather conditions. If you can prove that, AND prove that this is a regular prevailing condition particular to the location, then I would say you have a good shot at making a case for failure to disclose relevant facts about the property.
