Brother sold his house and moved to our town and should be closing on the new house in 2 days. Just found out that the seller is extremely delinquent on their mortgage and being foreclosed on and has no legal right to sell the house.

SD - The title says it all. This dude is being foreclosed on by the bank and is trying to sell the house. My brother is currently living in a motel waiting for the closing on July 2nd and was just informed by the buying agent that the seller has no claim to sell the house.

The realtor called the bank and they said it will be sent to auction and that they have no interest in selling it private party.

How the fuck has none of this come up in the past 2 months? They just closed on selling their house in WY this morning, and now have nowhere to live. How did the title company, the selling agent, the banks involved, anyone not know about this until 36 hours prior to closing? Who is responsible? What can we do?

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...
