Saw this article today about a couple who were all set to close on their dream home, inspections done, everything seemed fine. Then bam, last-minute roof inspection reveals some serious issues—like thousands of dollars in repairs kinda serious. Seller refused to budge on price or fix it, and the buyers almost walked away. Eventually they worked something out, but it got me thinking... seems like roofs cause a lot of drama in home sales, huh?
I mean, I get it—roofs are expensive and nobody wants to pay for someone else's problem. But if you're the buyer, how much would you be willing to compromise if the roof needs work? Or if you're selling, would you rather lower your price or fix it yourself to keep the deal alive? Curious what everyone else thinks or if you've had similar experiences.
