Selling a 1920s home for about 25k under market. owner occupied and not flipped. Previous owner bought the house in 2010 via foreclosure and we bought it in 2016. Previous owner did most of the repairs and we did some ourselves
Full price offer with in the first 2 days of listing and buyer has some big demands after inspection.
Already disclosed that the roof is 10 years old and same with hot water tank.
Buyer came back with a list of repairs requested.
Replace sewage line (sewage scope showed several areas where line out in yard was broken ) (9k estimate)
Roof repairs (very vague, but did mention a few broken deck boards and a few worn shingles ) ($10k quote from them )
Replace hot water tank and add expansion tank ($600)
Inspector noticed moisture under vapor barrier in crawl space and recommend foundation repairs + water mitigation. (Not standing water but rather moisture from humid ground,.did not note that there was an intrusion point from the wall) Noted to them we have a dehumidifier down there , that inspector didn't even note.
Noted they want all joists to have joist hangers put in. (We see no reason for this , house was built in the 30s prior to hangers being used. No floor sagging .
Other than that, we replaced HVAC last year , inspector couldn't get the heat pump to raise 10 degrees in 30 mins, noted the unit was faulty. (Clearly doesn't understand heat pumps )
All appliances are new as well
Then they requested all closing costs covered and a home warranty .
Obviously a lot of this is a non starter for negotiation but has anyone else had a buyer like this?
