Can Sellers Say No to Repairs After Inspection?

Yes - but it depends on leverage.

In today’s market, inspections still matter because buyers are cautious.
But sellers don’t need to agree to every request.

The best approach is separating:
✅ safety issues
✅ major system failures
✅ lender-required repairs
from
❌ cosmetic preferences
❌ minor maintenance
❌ “wish list” items

Sellers should negotiate based on:
● the market
● the competition
● the seriousness of the defect
● how the home was priced

Strong strategy protects the sale and the seller net.
