(Were straining to hit the 255) Problem is with current market I think they can find another buyer including those people easy. Only thing I guess that helps is that it becomes a disclosure item.

The house search has been about the most frustrating thing I've ever dealt with.
Walk away. DO NOT be in a hurry, BECAUSE HOUSES ARE GOING FAST. You sign on the dotted line, it's your problem. Either the seller repair, with receipts, OR they deduct that amount + 10% off sale price.

This is your first house, wait till you're on number 3-4. By then you know what you're looking at, for and better grip on repair cost.
