I don't understand what conclusion you're drawing about NoVa sales.

That I should not rely on inspection for normal minor fixes prior to the sale, but only as a way to back out of a deal if a [b]big problem [/b]is found.

In the past, both I as the seller and other sellers would do minor fixes in the house based on inspection report.[/quote]

"Big problem" is pretty subjective. A 25 year old furnace could last several more years for example. It could have been well maintained and wasteful to replace before its time.

I have no way to assess that as a buyer.[/quote]

Things have a useful life. This furnace is a goner.
I would not want a seller to repair anything because they would not do it to my standard. I’d negotiate for the closing costs and if not there are so many better houses.[/quote]

Old appliances last. We bought 12 years ago with hot water heater, furnace, and roof that were supposedly “goners.” They are all still working fine. [/quote]

That is reassuring, thanks![/quote]

Sure, but they are leaking all sorts of crap. You’ll have to replace them to sell anyway so why not make your own family’s life better now?[/quote]

We’re not replacing them to sell. They work fine and it is wasteful on many levels to get rid of appliances that work perfectly fine. If our buyer wants new ones that is their choice to be wasteful. [/quote]
