<prompt> Human: First off, apologies if this is the wrong sub for this topic but given the amount of discussions here regarding home buying and loans, I figured Id be more likely to find a knowledgeable person here than in a home-specific sub. My searching found no consistent communities on this topics.So my wife and I put an offer in on a 177.5K house. Offered full listing price AND closing costs as it seemed a pretty good deal and there were a couple of other competing offers and we liked the house enoughit was at the low end of our budget. Just had the inspection and the results came in about as expected but there were two major issues that I feel need to be addressed before we move forward. The first is the roof is shit. Inspector says it needs to be replaced, entirely, in the next five years and our realtor Who is representing us, not the sellers says she knows the sellers have known about this and priced out the repair.Cool. Get a free new roof before closing? Awesome. But the house was built in 1927 and has what appears to be a house-original furnace the inspector says also needs to be replaced in the next five years.I think we should be able to ask for the roof AND furnace to be replaced entirely before we move forward but do you folks think thats too much?I guess what Im essentially asking is, for a 177.5K house sale, is asking for what could be 15K of repairs fair? My wife and I arent willing to negotiate on splitting the costs. We already offered full listing plus closing so unless were walking back on those costs, I dont feel like we should help offset the costs of two major items that shouldve been fixed before the house was put up for sale.For reference, this house is priced fairly for the market, perhaps a TAD under the potential selling price but not low enough that its THAT good a deal. My wife and I are willing to walk away if the roof and furnace arent fixed Especially since there are a lot of smaller items well have to deal with if we buy the house.Thoughts? This is our first home so Id appreciate any input you fine folks have. TLDR: Is asking a seller to make upwards of 15K of repairs too much before closing on a 177.5K house?  <response>: My wife and I are willing to walk away if the roof and furnace arent fixedI think thats your answer. Whether this is reasonable will very much depend on the specifics of the house and your market and this is what your agent is being compensated to help you figure out.In asking for 15k of repairs on a 177k house youre essentially asking them to lower the price by nearly 10. If tis is normal where you are then it might work. But if they have a bidder thatll take it for a lower price as is, you may lose out.
