[quote=Anonymous]They put it at that price knowing the uneven floors and the not great appliances.  If the appliances work they work.  Arguing over that is silly.  Uneven floors are another issue and any major things found during inspection are another issue.

When we bought our house the water heater was 15 years old and the electric panel was right next to it.  It had to be moved and we needed a new water heater.  They had an old furnace (think 30+years old).  But the furnace and water heater still worked so our agent said if it works, it works.  We got money on a major issue we found during inspection but it only covered about half our costs.  The sellers offered to fix it, but we were concerned they would do a cheap quick fix and we wanted it done a certain way, so they paid the people we used directly and that ended up covering half of it (think all in it was >$50K).

You pick your battles.  No house is perfect especially in a hot market.  We got a water heater right away and when moving the panel found extra issues with the electrical we had to fix, but that is home ownership.  We didn't get money for either from the seller.  The furnace lasted us a few years and we recently replaced it.

A friend of mine is selling a house and went with a lower offer with no contingencies because they didn't want to deal with a back and forth after an inspection.

It is your money so you need to decide what you're comfortable with spending and doing.  [/quote]
