Closing delayed due to USDA loan

My husband and I are under contract to sell our house. Buyer is getting a USDA loan. We were told that paperwork was submitted to underwriting in the beginning of August and it’s usually a 2-3 day turnaround time. Well due to you know what, the underwriting process still isn’t done. Closing was supposed to be last Friday and that obviously didn’t happen. It was delayed until this Monday, which isn’t happening either. Nobody is able to give us any idea how long of a delay it will- be days, weeks, months... We still don’t even have a commitment letter. Our realtor has been in touch with the buyers realtor and lender and has been assured that the buyer is very interested and that he’s going to get approved, we just don’t know how backed up the USDA is. Our realtor has told us we have an option to terminate the deal.

Anybody dealing with a similar issue? Anything we can do? This is causing a massive financial strain on us because as of September 1, we are paying two mortgages in addition to two sets of bills and have had many unexpected repairs to our new home. The first buyers for our home backed out and now this... We don’t want to terminate a deal at this stage, but if it’s going to be delayed for a very long time, we may have to reconsider! We just want a commitment letter and an official closing date!

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...
