He’s Motivated and Ready to sell, BUT...

I just had a huge life realignment, and it’s flipped my plans! I have been blessed with a great career and will be moving to a more Northern city in Ca.

So here’s my dilemma:

I have been studying the market I’ll be moving into for several months now, and it’s been extremely high. It has slowed down recently and I’m finally seeing some potential homes I can house hack into.

One particular property that I have been keeping an eye on has been on the market for 3 months and it has two properties on one lot.

The front home (2 bed/ 1 bath 1000 sq. Ft), and the back home (3 bed/ 2 bath 1000 sq. Ft). The front was built in 1940, while the back home was built in 2005.

I’m going to talk to the agent soon and want a good series of questions to ask him about the home.

It’s also listed as a single family, but has two homes on one lot. What should I look out for? Besides calling the building department to make sure the home was built legally, is there any any other questions I should ask?

All help would be appreciated!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
