[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We have a home inspection contingency. Covers: HVAC which has a cracked pan, new roof on addition, replacing some cracked windows that are causing moisture in basement, re-grading landscaping to direct water away from property. We really are not trying to be overly aggressive. Bunch of other stuff popped up that we understand is just part of owning a house. Again, not trying to kill this deal. Would just like some funds to help offset the costs of these repairs/replacements. Appreciate the advice people are giving. Hard to stay objective when you're in the middle of this.[/quote]

I don't see how you get to $10,000 on that list, unless the grading job is really huge, in which case you should have been able to see that before you bought the house.

The new roof is a non-starter, unless it is actively leaking. And then they should just be obligated to patch it, not replace it.

The HVAC? A cracked pan? Does that mean a new unit or is it a repair?

As for your husband's anxiety, well, you shouldn't be worried about trying to keep the house. You have the leverage here -- just walk. There are other houses. If you're going to play hard ball, you have to be prepared to leave.
