The condensation between panes is a defect due to broken seal. The moisture does have to go somewhere, sometimes into a wall cavity where it rots the wood and also causes mold growth. If the seller has not fixed that issue, which I am sure he knew about, the question is: what other problems has he ignored?. You Realtor should be insistent of the repair prior to closing or just don't close. there are tons of homes out there for sale.
