I made a mistake and checked that we had a water softener on our sellers disclosure. We signed the contract at the end of March, went through inspection. We gave a more than generous price cut after very clean inspection. Now, 2 weeks before closing, the agent (not a fan btw) has brought this mistake up.
Do I have any options here or am I stuck with installing one?

That's what I'd like to think as well.

Honestly it would be worse for the buyer if you bought a cheap POS water softener (or a used one) and installed it then letting you correct an honest mistake.

This would be correct. You could toss something like below on that would do nothing.

definitely choose the "Subscribe and Save" option, in case this issue comes up every six months or so.

I would fill out the "update to sellers disclosure form" (TXR 1418) with the new information and let the buyers decide if they want to torpedo a deal over a water softener.

thanks to everyone for the responses. We sent the amendment and they have agreed to it. fingers crossed we make it to the finish line.

With how competitive the buying market is, I'd expect the buyer to do everything in their power to drag you across the line.
