Negotiations
I found a house that fit everything I was looking for as my first home. I put in an offer and it was accepted (asking price with seller covering 2% closing costs). Inspection was completed and it came back with a laundry list of items that will likely need to be addressed within several months.
-Roof replacement due to moss and issues with insurance offering a quote
-Nearly all mechanical items are at the end of their life
-Gutter issues
-Some electrical areas that are highly recommended to be changed
New offer on the table is seller continues cover 2% of closing and will pay 1 year on a home warranty. Home warranty does not cover a roof and it is hard getting a home owner's insurance quote with limited/no information on appliance or roof instillation.
Cons are outweighing pros at this point but wanted thoughts.
Home warranties- are they good?
Moss on roofs- experience with this and insurance?
Update: stepped away from the house and will try again when a different, hopefully better conditioned house, hits the market. Thank you for the comments
