You know your Idaho home better than anyone, which means you know what’s wrong with it. If you’re hoping to sell it, you might be wondering how much you need to reveal on the Idaho seller disclosure form, officially known as the RE-25 Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure Form.

This form provides potential buyers with a better picture of your property’s condition and history, making it easier for them to make an informed decision about your home. Additionally, it can also protect you from any potential legal hiccups that could arise from failing to disclose any defects with the property.

In this post, we’ll tell you what to expect, what information is essential, and what could go wrong if you leave something out. We’ll also provide a downloadable Disclosure Litmus Test to help you identify any red flags.

What is the Idaho seller disclosure form?

The Idaho seller disclosure form, or RE-25 Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure Form, is a document developed by the Idaho Association of Realtors. It’s designed to help you disclose any known issues or facts about your home that could impact its value or a buyer’s decision to proceed with the sale.

Idaho law requires sellers to disclose all material facts — in other words, anything that could impact the buyer’s use or enjoyment of the property. The RE-25 Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure Form acts as a guide to help you do this thoroughly. It covers everything from structural issues and past repairs to neighborhood conditions and HOA rules.

Note: Even if you’re selling a home “as is” in Idaho, you’re still required to be truthful and transparent about what you know.

Use this link to download a printable checklist (62KB) to prepare for completing the Idaho seller disclosure form. The questions on this Seller Disclosure Litmus Test reflect the types of details and issues you may need to reveal about your home — and what buyers expect to know.

Check off anything that applies to your Idaho property. If you’re unsure about something, make a note to ask your real estate agent or investigate further. The goal is to help you think through what needs to be documented and disclosed during the sale process.

What is not required to be disclosed? Idaho law does not require you to disclose if someone died in the home, if a previous occupant had HIV or AIDS, or if a sex offender lives nearby. You’re also not obligated to disclose neighborhood rumors, supposed paranormal activity, or personal reasons for selling, unless you are directly asked and your answer could be misleading.

Common mistakes sellers make on the disclosure form

Here are some of the most common missteps sellers make when filling out the Idaho RE-25 Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure Form:

Checking “yes” without providing an explanation: If you check a yes box that includes an “Explain” line, not providing the details could delay the sale of your property.
Guessing instead of explaining: If you’re not sure about something, don’t make assumptions — just state that you don’t know or add an explanation.
Failing to attach supporting documents: Inspection reports, permits, repair invoices, and warranties help verify your disclosures.
Not disclosing repaired issues: Even if you’ve fixed a problem listed on the form, like a roof leak or plumbing issue, it still needs to be reported.
Minimizing or softening the truth: Downplaying any defect can open you up to legal risk if the buyer later discovers the issue was worse than you led them to believe.

What if you fail to disclose something important?

If you fail to disclose a known material fact about your Idaho home, the buyer may have grounds to cancel the contract or sue you after the sale. In some cases, nondisclosure can be considered fraud under Idaho law, particularly if the omission appears intentional. Being upfront now helps prevent bigger headaches later.

When and how buyers review the disclosure

Under Idaho’s standard purchase contract, you’re expected to provide a completed RE-25 Seller’s Property Condition Disclosure Form within 10 days of contract acceptance. The buyer then has a set review period, typically three days, to examine the form and decide whether to proceed with the purchase, request repairs, or even cancel the deal.
