What's the latest updates on these houses with drywalls. Do current owners who are selling these houses with Chinese drywalls have to disclose them to potential buyers?

If not, what can the buyer do after the closing to find out that the house has defective Chinese Drywalls?

By the way, what percentage of houses built in say 2001-2007 has Chinese Drywalls in the Homestead area?

No they don't have to disclose it.

Most home built between 2003-2007 have chinese Drywall. I personally would not buy any home built within those years. Too much risk, you can end up losing all of your home value.

Many of the newer homes in Homestead are worthless. Its not just the chinese drywall but the excess home inventory in the area, the poor population living in the area, the isolation from Miami and the high crime. If you want to live in that hellhole rent in a close gated community with guards, not automatic security polls There are hundreds of rentals there, don't buy.

Most??

Does this also apply to other locations, like Tampa and Broward?

Broward I know had the same issue so yes. Tampa probably did as well, as it happened all across the country, but I am not sure. A home inspection might be able to tell you if there is an issue with chinese dry wall in the home.

I googled & checked a claims site.

They claim that 0.25 % of houses in SW FL have ***** drywall...

That the % is negligible...

Anyway,a home inspection seems nessecary...
