To add to answers already provided, it's important to note that even though there is no public disclosure of issues found during a home during inpections, the homeowners (and the real estate agent) are required by law to disclose any issues concerning the condition of the home which would impact a potential buyer's decision to purchase. So even though the potential buyer paid for the inspection, once that issue is brought to the homeseller's attention, the homsellers must tell potential buyers about that issue. Which isn't to say that the homesellers must repair anything that is of issue or concern - they don't. But they must disclose.
