For example, a detailed inspection might mention doors that don’t swing, a scratch somewhere, a broken tile, etc…but these issues that don’t affect the Buyer’s ability to inhabit the home are not typically negotiated against the purchase price once that price has been established in a dual-accepted offer contract.
