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!

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...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
