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.

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

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
