Selling for the first time
Central Indiana
We are selling for the first time. We bought our home during the covid boom and waived our inspection to get it. Afterwards we have dumped roughly 6 figures into fixing issues we knew would come up. Foundation, electrical, attic, roof, etc.
We are selling our home now and we had gotten offers over asking. We were esctatic and hoped to move quickly as we have two little kids and the whole process is a lot to go through.
The buyers did an inspection and I thought it came back really clean. However, they want us to deduct the cost of replacing the entire HVAC on the house. The HVAC in general is older, but they knew that when they put an offer on the house. The inspection report mentioned it had signs of being older but was in working condition. Beyond that, there were a lot of minor things on the report ( needing a GFCI in a bathroom, and cracks in the concrete walking up to the house).
The deduction in cost takes us over 10k under what our listing was.
I'm worried if we say no, we will have to go back on market, go through the whole process again, and potentially not have the same offers we did the first time because someone will think somethings wrong with the house since it went pending then back on. I find this to be unbelievably frustrating.
Is this normal in real estate?
