Do Appliances Need to Be in Working Order When I Sell a Property in New York?

Chris at Hauseit (https://www.hauseit.com) goes over whether appliances need to be in working order at closing, typically verified via the final walk-through inspection done right before closing. What does the contract say? Are carve-outs possible for certain appliances that are known by both parties to not be in working condition?

Yes, the standard purchase contract has language stating that appliances should be in working order at closing. This is verified by the buyer and real estate agents right before closing at the final walkthrough, typically done the day of or the day before closing.

With that said, everything is negotiable, and it's possible for the parties to agree to carve-out certain appliances that are known to be non-functional if that is the deal. For example, if both parties know that the microwave isn't working, and the seller doesn't agree to fix it before closing, or if the seller agrees to a credit, then both parties can agree to add a carve-out typically in the contract rider that states that the microwave will be delivered as is, i.e. non-functional.
