Does the home seller need to pay for repairs identified by an inspection?

True or false: If home buyers have a home inspection, the seller will have to pay for recommended repairs. False.

NC is an 'as is' state - meaning homes are sold 'as is'. Home sellers aren't obligated to make repairs - even if the home inspection finds something significant.

The buyer can lose their due diligence deposit if they terminate the contract, despite significant issues being found.

Having said that, if the home inspection finds something major or that is a safety concern, the seller may very well make the repair, because it's likely that other buyers will ask for it as well.
