I'm confused that you are closing today. If this is a resale, any defects found during the inspection contingency period should been addressed and/or disputed at that time, which normally would have been long before the closing.

I would not consider condensation between the panes to be a cosmetic issue. The gas between the panes has leaked out, which compromises the thermal efficiency of the window.
