[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.

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...
