Occupancy Fee - How is it calculated?

Hi All,

First time home buyer here. Purchased a precon (townhome) a few years back. Was recently contacted by the builder to come pick up the keys to my unit and I will have to pay an occupancy fee of $3700 a month till closing.

They also informed me that the government is quite backed up due the whole pandemic situation and it will take some time until things gets back to full capacity. Does anyone have any tips or pointers to how I can somehow expedite this process? Is there a standard practice of how occupancy fee are calculated? Do I have to take the keys now or can I pick it up when im able to close and avoid the occupancy fee. $3700 does seem like quite a hefty fee as I can rent elsewhere in the area for 1800-2200. The other units in my block has yet to be completed/ sold. Do I have to wait until the entire block gets sold/ completed in order for my unit to close? Getting a little worried. Thanks in advance!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
