What does is a buyer obligated to fix with a seller’s FHA loan?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

We’re selling our house and the buyer’s realtor has come up with a nice list of things that need to be fixed before the FHA appraiser comes to appraise the house. The items include fixing the paint (where we scraped it but didn’t paint it) on a window sill outside, installing GFCI outlets in a couple locations, and fixing a cracked window (which would require replacement because of the condition of the frame.)

So – first, will the cracked window likely be flagged by an FHA appraiser (it’s a double pane, cracked on only the outside side.)

Also, *and more importantly* what is our obligation as a seller to pay for the buyer’s FHA repairs? Obviously, they could walk away, but is it reasonable to question them to pay for these repairs?

Thanks!
