buying a home: after the inspection..

depending on what comes back from the inspector, who takes care of the repairs?

Re: buying a home: after the inspection..

It depends on how minor or major they are. Our inspection report came back with very minor changes and so we asked the seller to fix them. Some ppl say that if the inspection comes back with major repairs that are needed, then you may want to negotiate the price down with the sellers and have the work done yourself. The sellers may take the easy way out and do the repairs cheaply.

Re: buying a home: after the inspection..

we had the seller knock off a few bucks for some issues that kind of "took away" from the major selling points of the home.

for example, master bedroom has a huge beautiful window, one of those crescent things I think it is - - the window was fogged up from moisture on the inside, and would need a new window and frame.

try to bargain as much as you can, within reason.

some things you can overlook, but generally you know if the house is priced right to begin with.
