I purchased a home in 2019. The seller failed to disclose defects which affected the value of the home. Can the costs of repairs of those defects be deducted as a “loss”?

you can not deduct these costs. seek legal counsel.

Losses on the sale or acquisition of personal property are never deductible. You may wish to seek legal counsel to recover your costs from the seller under what I assume would be the auspices of "failure to disclose".
