It's a TX house.

The brick is "siding", decorative, not structural.

It's window dressing.

Will it get worse, probably.

But it's cosmetic and easily remedied.

We had a similar situation with our new build two years in.

Entire wall above the the double garage and a portion under the single feel in.

Took one day to fix and 8 years later I'd all but forgotten about it till this post.

Tell seller to fix it.

They can put money in escrow to cover cost so you can still close.

Basically, if they don't address / take care of, the money in escrow is there to cover the cost.
