AP Fault Zone Houses
We saw a house we really liked in Hayward. Turns out it is on the AP fault zone. Not being a Bay Area native, I was wondering if someone here could help me understand and navigate this. Some of the questions I had were:
- is there a discount applied to houses in the zone.
- what’s the risk factors if I don’t see any signs of structural damage to the house today.
- map shows that it is not exactly on the fault. does that make any difference?
- assuming that the house is retrofitted, is that good enough?
- would you make the purchase assuming that you dont mind the neighborhood?
