Once you have signed a contract, if you are willing to counteroffer and save some money, you must get a home inspection done. A home inspection is done after contract signing in most cases. So to counter the offer, you must get a complete inspection done. As a homeowner, if you don't want to end up buying a lemon house. Then a professional home inspection should be taken seriously. 
A home inspection helps the buyer find the problems in the house which you cannot spot easily. After a home inspection, many issues are brought to light, such as foundational issues, structural problems, internal mold, and termite infestation. 
​So once the certified property inspection report is in your hands, you can counteroffer to the seller quickly. If you have just signed a contract and are looking for a counteroffer after a home inspection, this blog is for you.
What is a Counter Offer?
A counteroffer is only applicable after a home inspection is performed. To reopen the negotiations or to opt for repairing major issues spotted after inspection is called a counteroffer. With the help of agents who can negotiate the offer further with the seller, you can counterpart your request. Always be open to the pieces of advice agents give before you counterpart any offer.
Get Credits for the Repairs: 
Counteroffers vary according to the current condition of the property. Before you ask the seller for incentives, you must consider that he is one expecting money by selling the asset. Rather than asking for repairs, you can get the repairs credit. It's a wise choice to get the repairs done by yourself as the seller might take the time or delay them. 
The seller might expect you to get the minor repairs done. Hence, you can get the credit and quicken the process for minor repairs rather than dangling behind the seller. So while asking for a counteroffer, get the recognition for repairs and save yourself from further drama.
Rethinking If the offer is worth it:
When there are multiple issues spotted during a home inspection, it can be a real turnoff. If you love the house, then a few repairs can work. But If you plan to repair the house thoroughly, you should rethink the offer. Tearing up and renovating the home can cost you a huge part of your savings. It's better to search for options. Eliminate the conversations about repairs with the sellers and rethink the offer. 
Buying a property that suits your taste matters. When you are creating the counteroffer, rethink all the priority repairs. If you still have a massive list of problems, go for another option. Rather than wasting time, go for the option with minor repairs. Get the credit for minor maintenance issues and save on future expenses.
Consider the Age Factor:
Age plays a vital role in listing your counteroffer pointers. During the home inspection, partner with the inspector and pay attention to every property detail. When there are foundational issues, you can quickly get them repaired by the owner. But for the problems of the entire roof renovation, you cannot blame the owner if the house is old. 
A home built a few years ago with a single owner can easily be countered for repairs, but this cannot happen in the case of an old house. This point should be considered when you search for a property while plotting your counteroffer.
After Home Inspection – The Counter Offer 
While drafting your counteroffer, you must be polite and kind. Keep the agent in the loop about your counteroffer pointers. The seller might reject your deal if the letter comes out harsh. Don't forget to attach the home inspection report with the details highlighted and also mention the estimates drafted by the professionals.
Conclusion:
A property inspection rarely comes out clear, and minor issues are discovered. Buyers need to get the minor repairs done on their own. You must have a budget you are planning to invest in and choose the property accordingly. Coming to the counter offer, you must consider every point mentioned above and decide. Sometimes when you don't like the house, options are better.
