Inspection Response Period Over....No Response from Seller Yet

[Ana Marie B.]

Hi BP Folks!  My husband and I are in contract on an investment property as buyers, completed the inspection, and our agent submitted our repair requests timely. Contract specified that seller had 2 days to respond (yesterday was the deadline). Seller's agent said response would be in by end of day yesterday, but nothing as of 8pm. Our agent texted the seller's agent again who responded by saying the response will be in by tomorrow (today) AM...Still nothing as of 10 am now.

My question is, is this normal to not abide by contract stipulations? If seller doesn't want to do any repairs, they just have to say so on the form.  Any one ever experience this?  

Background - Though we're offering pretty much market rate for this SFR, we don't want to lose this property, as it's in a great neighborhood and we foresee appreciation. The inspection did reveal some minor to major issues but due to the fact that our offer doesn't constitute a "deal," we want the seller to make the repairs or provide some credit.
