Checks all the boxes, even the little ones. Backs up to 50 acres of undeveloped land and has a basement I didn't know about I can easily convert to extra shop space/storage. Even has a trailer pad already. The pool and just about everything else checks out so this honestly the only real issue.
Why would you be out $3500? The only costs up to this point should be a credit report, appraisal and inspection. Escrow should be returned, and even if its not $3500 is cheaper than the plumber bill.
It sounds like you're giving all the sellers the cards in the negotiation, you've already conceded everything. Who knows, they may be in the same boat, needing to close on this house to move into another?
At the end of the day both parties want the sale to close, but, the lender always gets a copy of the home inspection and appraisal - the sellers wont be able to make *any* sale once this is disclosed.
tl;dr dig in and insist they pay because they should know better
