[Canada] Seller's tenant took all the appliances

We are first time home buyers. Our closing date is November 30th. The fridge, stove, washer and dryer were on the listing. I noticed that the dishwasher was not on the listing so we asked for it to be included in our agreement, along with the other appliances.

We just went for our final walkthrough and the sellers were there installing the washer and dryer. Our real estate agent talked to the seller's agent and they told us that the appliances had belonged to their tenant so they took them when they left. There was a glass-top stove when we first viewed the house. Now there is a coil range in its place. I am fine with a coil range but the bottom drawer part is missing! It is just a big hole under the oven. I don't remember the washer and dryer but my husband thinks it was a better model than the ones they were putting in.

I just need some advice on how to proceed. Do we just go ahead and close with the replacement appliances? Do we bring the issue up with our lawyer. Do we ask for a credit so we can purchase new appliances? Another issue is that new appliances are very hard to come by right now. I had a friend who had to buy a fridge recently and she was told there is a three month wait list.

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/
