What if the seller refuses to make repairs after my Woodbury inspection?

Sellers aren't obligated to fix everything, and in a strong market some decline repairs entirely. If that happens, you still have options. You can accept the home as-is if the issues are minor or you're prepared to handle them, since even premium Woodbury homes generate long punch lists. You can counter by asking for a price reduction or a closing credit instead of repairs, which many sellers prefer because it lets you choose your own contractors, useful for items like grading, an aging furnace, or radon mitigation. You can prioritize, dropping cosmetic requests and pressing only on major safety or big-ticket items. Or, if the problems are serious and your contingency is intact, you can walk away. Get repair quotes for significant findings so your requests are concrete and credible. Lean on your agent to read the market and craft the response. A seller's refusal isn't the end of the road, just the start of a negotiation. To arm yourself with a detailed report, build a free instant quote online.
