How courts have described this case

• stating that the Court must “focus upon what the terms of the contract specifically require for performance in determining whether interstate commerce was involved” (internal marks omitted)
• \adher[ing] to the view that the development of real estate is an inherently intrastate transaction\
• noting the FAA generally does not apply to residential real estate transactions that have no substantial or direct connection to interstate commerce
• finding sale and purchase of real estate to be intrastate in nature—and not subject to FAA—where 8 party “agreed to purchase a completed dwelling rather than contract for the construction of a dwelling”
• stating if ancillary factors in the purchase agreement for a residential home, such as out-of- state financing or a national warranty, were enough to constitute interstate commerce, \then every transaction that involved these ancillary factors would be subject to the FAA\
• development of residential real estate was inherently intrastate transaction not affecting interstate commerce
