In my state the Seller may refuse to fix items. The Buyer may then agree to accept the house "as is" or they may cancel the contract; providing there is an Inspection Addendum that states this.

Alternatively, the buyer may seek damages for any financial losses incurred due to the breach, such as costs associated with inspections or appraisals. It's also advisable for the buyer to consult with a real estate attorney to explore their options based on the specifics of the contract and local laws.
