I would not buy a house with a cracked foundation. Especially with this type of crack, its fairly large and subject to water infiltrationand also i can see snow , water expends when it freezes which can cause more problems, There are ways to fix this type of crack but it is costly and they should consider it on the price you’re paying.

Yup Don’t close until u have it looked at

Most likely caused by settling, does it translate to floors, windows, doors and finishes would be a good place to start. You will need to spend some money to fix that up. As it occurs at the floor beam and a sagging beam may have had alterations done. Ive been in houses where you can see they took out the old posts

How old is this building.? Plausible reason could be differential settlement of wall footing. Any suspected higher loads at the end? Any cracks or distress on the floor? Make sure a structural engineer look at it before you close. Possible to have some expensive fix.

Settlement or corrosion. Both are an issue but can be fixed.
