Ok thanks for the opinions. There is nothing heavy in the room so it cant be that. I did not consider it a cosmetic crack because of the way that it cracked. I have hung a lot of drywall in my life and because of the sized of the room and the lay out there should be no reason for this to be caused by the drywall seams or anything like that. Something under the area has settled and has caused this wall to sink on that corner. So I have recommended that a structural engineer be consulted. The home is 500K and is under warranty so they can do what they want with the information.

I do about 3-7 of these new homes every month so it pays good to advertise and give discounts for neighbors to have them all in one day. We did 3 today and this was the only one that I have seen in years like this.

Thanks again for all the input.
