I know the listing agent doesn’t have to answer everything but I’m wondering what questions we should at least prep to ask them when we go to see the home?
It fell out of contract at least 3 weeks after going under contract which makes me believe it had something to do with inspections / negotiation.
However, it was relisted for 15k more than the initial list price.
Agent claims home went out of contract because the sellers felt they could get more which I think is BS.
We had initially put in an offer on this house and the agent said they had offers closer to ask (our offer was under) – at that time, we chose not to bring up our offer though we did love the house.
The listing agent claims the inspection report didn’t have any major flags but and of course we’ll get an inspection done ourselves if we go through with putting in an offer but I wanted to do our due diligence prior as well.
Separately, the house has a paid off solar pane lease – anything we should ask about there?

Ask why the deal fell through (inspection, financing, or appraisal) and if any issues or repairs came up. Request any reports if available and check whether the prior buyer had appraisal problems since it’s now priced higher.
For the solar, confirm it’s fully owned (not leased) and ask about warranties, roof condition, and actual energy savings.
You’re right to be curious. Best of luck.
