My broker is saying I can remove PMI within a few months of buying my house without an appraisal. I’m having doubts. Can someone tell me what they know?

I’m buying a house for 500000 with 25k down. Then going to turn around and sell my current place. I will have more than enough to meet the 20% LTV with the proceeds from my current house. I’m in Washington state. I’m not sure who my servicer is and I assume it would get sold but who knows.

The broker stated confidently that I can recast my mortgage as soon as my current house sells and have the PMI removed without another appraisal. But I’m reading so many conflicting reddit threads about this and not getting a straight answer with my research.

Does anyone know how this work? I went with a convention in lieu of a bridge loan because I figured recast would be more financially reasonable.

She wrote to me this in an email

“I have verified that the recast is something that is allowed by AGENCY – IE: Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae and so you would have option to recast even in the unlikely event that the loan was sold again prior to your home selling.

The MI would fall off at that time and there would not be an appraisal required if requesting recast based on the original purchase price/loan amount”

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...
