Wife and I are currently under contract for our first home in FL. The sellers are a group based in another state but their realtor is in FL. We went through all of the steps up to the inspection which found that the home had a 21 year old roof that was deemed no life left and the home had poly butylene piping which needed to be replaced. So both of these items need to be fixed in order for the property to be insured and sell. But the sellers never gave us a concrete answer when we sent them the addendum asking them to replace both prior to closing. Our realtor is great and has been on them about it daily, but they are taking forever to get back to us on this. It's been almost a month since the initial addendum was sent and we're now on the 4th inspection contingency date extension from the seller. Best we've gotten out of them is "were still working on getting quotes together but one of the items is approved" but they won't tell us which one (probably the less expensive one). We think that this group is purposefully dragging this out because they want us to walk so they can potentially get a cash offer on the home to avoid replacing the roof. They dropped their initial asking price by $15k before we put our offer in last month, so I really think they're doing whatever they can to not deal with the roof. I work in contracting myself so I know that it definitely doesn't take this long to get quotes for a roof in this area. Feeling pretty crappy about this whole situation, any advice is appreciated thanks :)
