[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s still a seller’s market many places here and you may lose the house if you ask for such a large credit. We bought our house with all old systems and 15 years later they are all still fine. The only thing we have had to replace are the kitchen appliances, which are relatively cheap and seen to have a very short life anyway. I do wish I had known the windows would be so expensive to fix, but I blame myself for not realizing that when we made the offer. Not like that was hidden. [/quote]

Yes, I did consider the seller walking away at the ask. It was a hard decision but I would rather lose it than feel ripped off. I got a basic quote of $8K to repair the damaged windows and a $17K quote for replacement, which I’m told is more likely bc they are wooden and a few rotted so repairs may not be an option.

The deck will need repair or replacement to be considered safe which can range from $5k to $20k depending on what the inspector finds. My pest inspector found mouse droppings today.

It’s a beautiful townhome but it needs care that the seller didn’t give it. [/quote]
