I have purchased many homes and have sold just as many and the inspection window is just another time frame for the buyer to get out of the contract if they want to. I’ve got out of a new house purchase because the inspection found $15k worth of issues and I did t want anything to do with the house, all while the selling agent tried to get us to accept the deal if the builder would go out and fix all the issues. They did keep the earnest money to the last date by law hoping we would change our mind.
Most if not all contracts have in there that the sellers will only pay so much to fix anything or they might flat out say buy as is, even if you find something the seller isn’t going to fix it. That’s how I sold my last 3 houses. Always, the buyer always has the option of walking no matter what the inspection says.
1 house we were buying, we needed to move in on a specific date and the builder agreed to it. During the waiting period to close, we noticed some issues that we didn’t like and we told the builder and he didn’t care. Well, the builder fell behind 1 day and couldn’t get everything done, so we couldn’t move in. We cancelled the contract, all the while the selling agent told us they could write up an amendment, nope, what’s in the contract is what you live by, good or bad
