JMO but when making a purchase of over $500K and waiving inspection/conditions is idiotic.
You will "lose" the bid if you don't waive? Great, I would rather rent so when the roof needs repair, or the furnace goes, its up to the LL to repair.
Imagine "winning" a $1,000,000 house only to find out it requires another $200K of work???? Good god.
As for the YYC market, we actually had two open offers out at the same time - one came back asking for $40K more, the other came back at $10K over our offer + included some furniture making it a no brainer for us.
Even crazier is we did something I figured we would never be able to do - we found an inner city house we really liked for under $700K (IMO they listed too low). Home inspection is tomorrow so hopefully that goes well and we are finally done.
