A home sale is often more complicated than that. In some places, you can buy a house “as-is,” meaning that effectively the seller is largely not on the hook as long as they didn’t egregiously misrepresent the condition of the house.

Yes but if they don’t disclose problems they are on the hook for it no matter if they sell it as-is.

That's not what "as-is" means, contractually. There may be certain things that, by regulation, must be disclosed (most commonly lead pipes, asbestos, flood plain) but other than that...
In some places, you can also sell a house as "condemned" and then you have no recourse what-so-ever.
