We are selling our house. It is a 3 bed, 1 bath, 1000 square feet home with a main floor, a basement, and a pull down attic. We accepted an offer that was significantly below our asking price, but only 5k below what we actually wanted (we put the asking price at what it recently appraised at, which we knew we probably wouldn't get). This offer was accepted after the buyers spent 2 hours at our open house, 1 of those hours technically being after our open house ended. After negotiations, before they sent the final contract, they told us they must see the house again. We approved their time, and they said they would be 15-20 minutes. They ended up being their over an hour. They just had their inspection done. It took them 3 hours total. When we originally inspected our house it took 1 hour, and the house we are buying which is significantly larger, took 1.5 hours to inspect. They are now saying they want to come back in for another inspection, specifically for pests.
At this point, it is getting very difficult. I have a 2 year old with a bedtime, that needs to eat dinner, and get ready for daycare the next day before going to bed. When we set the times for the open house, viewings, and inspection, we strategically decided how we were going to keep our toddler busy outside of the house. If you know anything about a 2 year old, you can't spend 3 hours at a restaurant or in a store. We are also running into the issue of not being able to put our kid down for bed at our usual time because they are still in the house, even after being told they would only be 15-20 minutes, or booking the inspection early to make sure the house was clear for bedtime.
They are asking for a 13500 price drop on the house from the first inspection, which may go up after the second inspection. I understand the want for money to fix issues, and I don't think I would have as much of an issue with it, if it didn't feel like they were just playing with our time. Is this normal? I'm not sure I can continue to vacate the property for all the times they want to be in it. There is only so much restaurant food or fast food, late bedtimes, and entertaining at random places I can do. I'm tired, my husband is tired, and my son is very affected by not being on routine and eating normal food.
