Anyone here bought a home recently?
My gf and I are in negotiations after recently having our offer accepted on a house. The house is in a great location in Cedar Rapids (Bowman Woods) and has a really open nice layout and a huge yard. Because of that, we ended up paying full price just to make sure we didn't lose the house. (Houses in the mid-market in Cedar Rapids are actually selling incredibly fast due to the influx of buyers moving out of the high-end market)
Anyway, we had the inspection done, and found that the place needs a new roof, badly. There are places where the plywood will need replaced as well as the shingles. There are already 2 layers of shingles on the roof as is.
We went ahead got an estimate which I felt was pretty reasonable. So, what does the buyer come back with? An estimate to put a 3rd layer of shingles on an already deteriorated roof. This actually concerns me greatly, because if the sellers consider this an acceptable repair on the home, what else is there that they have done half - assed like this in the house?
Anyone else had any experiences like this? Am I being over the top for being upset?
