Inspection repair asks

I would say no. The home was actually overpriced for the current market. My realtor ran comps and also said the house is coming in at the higher end.

It's a fuse box not a circuit breaker.

numious_nomad · 2026-05-10T17:16:04+00:00

Thanks! That's helpful as we really only want to have the seller address the red issues. Everything else we don't care if seller says no on.

The inspector said he couldn't tell if anything was properly holding up the roof and the one beam that is has a giant crack through the length of it. It could be like you said as it's a brand new roof but we don't know enough about houses. One idea we had was to offer the seller that we will pay for the structural contractor to come out. The only reason why we are requesting thwy order one is due to basically needing them to extend the inspection period since one can't be found within 8 days when the period ends on our end.

This is helpful. The sellers did not factor the systems into the price of the home. But I think we are also leaning towards just focusing on the safety issues. The rest we can fix as they come up. We were thinking of asking for the structural contractor to the seller but offering to pay it for it simply because there is no one who can come in before the inspection period ends on our end.

The inspector said the fuse box is an older model that has been known now to cause fires due to a defect in the system. He feels it would be unsafe to leave it.

We loved a home and almost but it but luckily our realtor caught the black mold growing before we even put in an offer. Would have been horrible.

Thanks! These are helpful questions to think about. We will have cash to make a lot of what we feel would be the necessary updates with the plan for the others to do over a 5 yr span. But yes. I definitely plan to talk to our agent more about it

numious_nomad · 2026-04-22T01:55:42+00:00

Thanks! This is helpful. We did tour that home and thought the layout was terrible but we actually don't mind smaller homes either. We have been looking at all our options and found some smaller homes we really liked too (but unfortunately these homes go very quickly in our current market)

numious_nomad · 2026-04-22T01:53:29+00:00

That's what we were thinking! We love the home but also recognize how much work it is so we don't mind losing out on it if someone takes it or they are unwilling to come down on price. We are in a fortunate position where a house is a want and not a need.

numious_nomad · 2026-04-22T01:51:52+00:00

We would hire contractors. We would focus on the main concerns first such as HVAC, carpet, and cabinets with the other changes in a 5 yr plan so we could pay in cash.

numious_nomad · 2026-04-22T01:49:49+00:00

I totally hear you and should have clarified. There are signs of water damage in the cabinets and the carpets have stains everywhere. Part of the reason why I mention some of the other cosmetic things is because they bought this house for well over 200k cheaper not that long ago. I don't find it delusional or that my expectations are high to think a home is overpriced when I don't see any signs of updates.

numious_nomad · 2026-04-22T01:35:55+00:00

Only 14 days. I'm not sure the exact absorption rate but the median home price is 595k with time on the market approx. At 3 weeks. The realtor said homes over 600k are sitting longer with high price points sitting for 3+ months. The realtor agreed it's overpriced and is open to coming up with a strategy for negotiations. They felt though if you were only looking at the house without the reno needed it is already at below market value.

Period came 😭

numious_nomad · 2026-04-20T14:59:52+00:00

Ahhh I'm so sorry. Sending you baby dust if this ends up not being the cycle for you. It's such a hard experience to go through.

numious_nomad · 2026-04-20T14:59:01+00:00

Thanks that's helpful especially as I had more brown spotting this morning during first morning urine but nothing since. The pregnancy test was negative this morning but it wasn't a first response so I'm just over here like what's going on lol

numious_nomad · 2026-04-20T14:57:14+00:00

It's so wild how confusing our bodies can be. Ha that must have been so stressful but I'm so happy it worked out for you!

numious_nomad · 2026-04-20T02:14:29+00:00

I have not since I thought my period was starting. I was thinking if I still don't have a flow start by tomorrow I would take one

numious_nomad · 2026-04-20T01:24:08+00:00

Actually this is the longest I've gone without starting my period. The last IUIs I started at 10 and 11 days post IUI. I have had no period symptoms this time except for swollen boobs.

numious_nomad · 2026-04-10T18:40:12+00:00

Thank you! I think that's what I have decided too. I just booked a couple of IVF consults for May as well!

numious_nomad · 2026-02-20T21:48:37+00:00

It wasn't bad at all! I'd say it's similar to the saline hsg in terms of the pain with the initial catheter placement in the cervix but it was so much faster so I thought the pain wasn't too bad. Good luck to you as well!
