in that bad of condition

[englishhobby]

Are both sentences grammatically correct?

1) If I'd have known that the house was in that bad of condition, I wouldn't have bought it.
2) If I'd have known that the house was in that bad condition, I wouldn't have bought it.

"If I'd have known" is incorrect. It's "If I'd known ...". It's short for "If I had known ...".

I'd use either "was in that bad a condition" or "was in such bad condition".

"was in such bad condition".

And why not "was in such a bad condition"? Don't we need an article?

If you found sentence 1 somewhere on line and apparently written by a native Anglophone, the author may live in my region. Both of the nonstandard usages in the sentence are common in the American Midwest. You should not emulate them.

We don't normally use an article in the phrase in bad condition.
