Counters?

There is a house that I absolutely love and I put a bid in on it last night and they had until 9pm tonight to respond. Well first let me give details on the house, it’s a brick home with a slope in the front which I’m not to concerned about but the back yard is almost flat which is perfect and enough space for large family get togethers. The house is approximately 2200 square ft, 5 bedrooms 2 master suites, and a total of 3 bathrooms, 1 master is a Jack and Jill. Has an unfinished basement that once complete would bring the total to approximately 3700 sq ft. Also has a 2 car garage. The home is in a subdivision that is almost 60% developed. Basic appliances, central heat and air, with hardwood floors in the hallways and dining area, carpet in the bedrooms, and tile in the bathrooms. The current selling price is listed at 107$/sq ft, and I offered them 15,000 less than asking with seller paying the closing. The house is currently a little over what I’m wanting to pay monthly but I have 20k to put down which will bring it to what I’m wanting. The loan is 24 years 100% financing with no PMI at a rate of 3.99, the total paid is less than a 30 year with PMI and approximately 10% down. So here’s the kicker the sellers are in the middle of a divorce and one agreed on the proposal but the other wanted more money but they couldn’t come to an agreement, so the window expired on my offer. They are trying to come up with a counter but will be outside window. The question I have is should I try to meet in the middle of my offer and theirs or should I repeat my offer. The house has been listed 3 times on the market in the past year and removed a few months later. We, the realtor and I, asked the seller if they have had any offers and they said no. What would you do? Thanks, Sorry for the long post.

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...

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...

Co-signing as non-primary resident - effect on size of required downpayment & first time home buyer status?

Contemplating co-signing on a house with my mom and splitting the mortgage payment. I currently have a significantly higher income and much better credit than her. I'm looking at potential home costs and related downpayments but have difficulty using some of the online estimators. From my perspective, this would be somewhat of an investment purchase (I intend to stay in my current location in a different state and contribute to the mortgage), however, for my mom, this would be a primary residence. For purposes of the downpayment size and the type of mortgage arrangement, would it be an investment property or a primary residence? Many thanks for any help. submitted by /u/piercalicious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/km4hvl/cosigning_as_nonprimary_resident_effect_on_size/
