A $400 to $600 home inspection exists precisely to surface problems, roof condition, furnace age, foundation cracks, before they become a possession-day argument. When the inspection turns something up and the buyer and seller cannot agree on a repair credit, the deal can collapse even though the price itself was never the problem.
The fix for both is sequencing. A buyer who is genuinely pre-approved, not just pre-qualified, and a seller who addresses obvious deferred maintenance before listing remove the two most common reasons an accepted offer falls apart.
A sale that closes on schedule usually looks unremarkable: both sides did the boring parts, financing and inspection, properly and early. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
