Home inspection findings

Hello,

I had a home inspection in Canada on single family home 3000+ sq ft. upper floor, main and basement.Main issues were:

- some discolouration and texture of obvious water damage as well as a 13ft very narrow stripe going across the whole ceiling that is slightly discoloured. The ceiling is above a bathtub. There is no history on this damage and was to surprised of the owners. There is no moisture reading on the ceiling when running bath/other water. I would rip open the ceiling day 1 if I got the home to further inspect.

- Instant hot water tank is seriously corroded like the entire thing. Buyers said it was recently serviced and said plumber said the corrosion is just cosmetic. I would get it replaced day 1, I actually would prefer it get replaced before I remove my conditions so home doesn't get destroyed if it has another problem.

Anyways I wanted to negotiate these problems with the owner of home, not sure I would buy home without resolutions.

- They have plumber open ceiling and investigate and we go from thereor-$5,000 credit due to ceilings potential issues if they don't want plumber to open ceilingor- Contingency that within 2 months if it's discovered there is damage and repair they would be liable for 100% of damages in home due to that leak.

They replace hot water tank or provide $3500 credit.

Furthermore My agent is refusing to relay this information forward to the buyers as she thinks it's unreasonable. She has "turned her phone off" albeit it's friday at 5pm I have to remove conditions in 3 days. I've been getting a lot of bad vibes from her at the start low balling my homes value that later sold in 5 days for 10% more then she valued and just constantly telling me my homes not worth much and the home I'm buying is worth it's asking price when negotiating. When I have data suggesting both are incorrect and the through days of pressure of continuing tough negotiations things were resolved further towards my bids.

Any opinions on what solutions would work for this situation. the home has no interest and has been on the market for 4 months. 3 of those months were in the peak of home buying 2022 spring it's a nice home though, only 15 years old and works for us. and the home inspector says it's otherwise a home is pretty good.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
