Keep repairs and credits focused so you do not lose leverage
You are deciding what is reasonable to ask for after the inspection without risking the deal. In North Andover, MA, the recent pace points to a market where overreaching can backfire quickly.
One number to respect from the previous month is speed a typical sale took eight days in North Andover, MA. Recent accepted deals also landed at about 100.5% of asking. The practical impact is that both sides often move fast, and that can shrink the room for lengthy repair negotiations. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Still, when homes sell quickly and near asking, I recommend focusing requests on true safety issues and big-ticket defects rather than cosmetic items. Keep inspection negotiations tight and professional ask for repairs or credits that are clearly tied to documented issues. Respond quickly so you do not introduce unnecessary uncertainty into a fast-moving transaction in North Andover, MA. If the inspection reveals major surprises, revisit your walk-away line calmly and make a decisive choice instead of negotiating from fear.
