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...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
