a buying nightmare!

So...this is my first post on Reddit and one I write with sadness and looking for advice.... Like many we have sized out of our home and had embarked this summer on finding a home with more space and a better school district. We found a beautiful home that both my husband I loved (this is hard to come by!). Things start to get sad here: The sellers were relocating to a different town and our contract was with the relocation company who we signed with and exited attorney review on 7/30. We had an inspection a few days later which was riddled with issues but we negotiated 28,500 at closing to fix all the issues. This agreement was agreed to in an email with their attorney on 8/15. Our attorney sent a rider following that which they never signed (and honestly we overlooked). We were waiting for receipts on some termite treatment that they sent through on 9/2. Unfortunately before we could send our signatures back, the relocation agency sent us a letter on 9/4 saying the sellers are “no longer moving forward with their relocation and thus the they (relo company) can not provide us with title” ergo the sale is null and void. It was in our contract that the relocation company has to receive documents for title transfer in order to go through with the sale. During all this we entered into attorney review on our home and removed the inspection contingency as well. We also enrolled our son in the new school district by providing the sale contract. Which they will honor for 2 months and then we have to be out of the school. We have retained services of a lawyer who thinks we have a decent case but he is not overly positive. I would love to hear thoughts on what we can pursue - damages/compel a sale? Located in NJ!

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/
