However, this decision may impact the sale of the home and negotiations with the buyer.

During the home buying process, the buyer will typically conduct a home inspection to identify any issues with the property. If the inspection reveals significant repairs that need to be made, the buyer may request that the seller make these repairs before closing or negotiate a credit or reduction in the purchase price to account for the cost of repairs.

If the seller refuses to make the requested repairs, the buyer may have the option to walk away from the sale or continue with the purchase as-is. However, the seller's refusal to make repairs could potentially impact the buyer's perception of the property and impact the final sale price.

It is important for sellers to consider the potential consequences of refusing to make repairs and to work with their real estate professional to determine the best course of action. In some cases, it may be in the seller's best interest to make the repairs or negotiate a compromise with the buyer.
