[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a seller's market around here for the most part, so be careful about nickeling and dime -ing the seller. I've had sellers get out of the contract with PITA buyers by declining to accept their contingency. If the house isn't listed as "as-is", expect them to fix the big health-and-safety stuff. Don't get weedy about scuffed paint, etc.  And you pay for the inspection. [/quote]

Sellers can't get out of the contract because the buyer asked for too much.  You are incorrect.  Sellers can get out of the contract because the buyer asked for too much, the seller said no, and the buyer then did not agree to no credit.  The buyer can always say ok if the seller refuses to budge and move forward with the purchase.  It is the buyer's to lose, not the seller's decision.

I agree with the other poster that asking for a credit for medium to big issues (not the small items) that are not apparent during earlier house visits is reasonable.  The deciding factor could be whether the seller just wants to be fair or it could just be how desperate they are to sell or how good they feel about the contract price or how much cash they have on hand to credit.

Is there a downside for the buying making the request?[/quote]
