1,055 chars[7] To be distinguished are cases, such as those relied upon by the plaintiffs, which recognize a cause of action in contract by a buyer against a builder-seller based on an implied warranty of habitability or an analogous theory. See, e.g., Duncan v. Schuster-Graham Homes, Inc., 194 Colo. 441, 442-444 (1978); Crowder v. Vandendeale, 564 S.W.2d 879 (Mo. 1978) (en banc). Warranties of habitability are not normally implied in the transfer of a home from one purchaser to a subsequent one. See Crowder v. Vandendeale, supra at 881-882; Casavant v. Campopiano, 114 R.I. 24, 26-27 (1974). Compare Roberts, The Case of the Unwary Home Buyer: The Housing Merchant Did It, 52 Cornell L.Q. 835, 841-843 (1967); 12 Williston, Contracts §§ 1506A, 1523 (3d ed. 1970). Others of the plaintiffs' cases involve equitable relief, e.g., Wolford v. Freeman, 150 Neb. 537 (1948) (rescission), which if sought as it was not here would be subject to equitable time limitations. See 12 Williston, supra § 1526. [8] G.L.c. 260, § 2A, as amended by St. 1973, c. 777, § 1.
