I also think that was a wise decision. And glad you talked to an honest neighbor. We also walked away from a great deal on a house that had synthetic stucco with water intrusion issues--we did some research and even talked to their stucco inspector who told us that he found issues at every place he put a probe (and said you can't probe every inch--those were selected examples) and told us it was a problem and $50-80K if we needed to pull all the stucco off. Sellers were going to "fix" only the areas he put a probe. DH used a temp meter and from that could see probable water intrusion under many windows. We walked away. The realtor, to her credit, did tell the next buyers about "a stucco issue." They thought stucco was "no big deal"--I don't think they understood it was synthetic.
