[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually to me it sounds like the real issue is OP doesn't want to be pressured by realtors. That's the biggest reason why DH and I used Redfin. They didn't push us to buy, very low pressure. We eventually found what we want and got it.[/quote]

OP here. That’s exactly what it was. We felt pressured to buy anything when the homes had several issues. We almost did buy a home but the seller changed their mind on selling at the last minute when the rates started going up. If they didn’t change their mind, we’d have moved in by now. I don’t blame them for not selling. But once that happened, our realtor finds any rando place and wants us to sign on it asap and I’m not wired like that.[/quote]

OP, it sounds like you need a new realtor. Actually GOOD realtors are rare but they are patient and fighting for YOU, not just their commission. Our realtor has been an absolute dear and she's been actively showing houses to us for... oh, 5-6 months now. When we were closing on a house and issues came up with the septic, our realtor actually ADVISED us to walk because she knew that we might be looking at a 30k+ price tag to fix (and the seller was only offering 3,000$). And we did walk partially based on her advice. A good realtor is working for you, not themselves. 
It sounds like you probably walked instead of trying to negotiate, personally I would have tried to negotiate first but if the seller is trying to hide something, it's a bad sign. So while it might not be what I would do, I understand walking due to that. Sellers can be really shady and they shouldn't be allowed to lie or obfuscate without consequences. [/quote]
