After a home inspection, buyers usually have 5 to 10 days to respond regarding any repairs or negotiations, depending on the purchase agreement and local laws. In some fast markets, this period may be as short as 3 days, while in California, it can extend to 17 days. Buyers might not immediately contact sellers; they could be gathering repair estimates or deciding to purchase as-is. If buyers don't respond within the contingency window, they risk losing earnest money or facing other penalties.
Most buyers have between 5 to 10 days after an offer is accepted to schedule a home inspection and come back to the seller.
If there is an inspection contingency in place, the buyer has until the end of the contingency window to come back to the seller with any repair requests or negotiations.
In fast-moving markets, buyers might have as little as 3 days to make a final call after the home inspection.
No news doesn't necessarily mean bad news-the buyer might be planning on buying the house as-is or getting repair estimates to bring to the table for negotiations.
