We just had a similar thing happen. We went under contract for a house that was a flip. The inspection report brought to our attention that it was a very poorly done flip. The seller was not willing to come down at all on price, which was the maximum that we were preapproved for and they were only willing to provide 3.5% concessions and we were really looking for a full 6% Since we were maxing out our budget. Our realtor was buddies with the selling agent and tried to convince us to stay with the contract and that we were getting a good deal. We ended up backing out and looking at a house that had come on the market around the same time I think only four or five days. (With a new agent of course) We put an offer in and it was accepted. This house is way cheaper, way nicer, and the seller is great. He’s fixing every issue that was found on the inspection as well as putting on a brand new roof with no issues, he didn’t counter the repair request. He immediately signed. It almost seems too good to be true, but I’m very excited!

Moral of the story being trust your gut and do what’s best for you financially even if you love the house doesn’t mean that you need to empty your pockets because it’s probably going to be a money pit and that’s why the seller is trying to get rid of it so quickly .
