Found the best house... and lost it.

Perfect build, everything that I wanted. Land.. white house with black gutters, new build... close to everything. Had public water, septic with all gravity flow, all electric.. Man... this is a TOUGH market.

So the house was listed at 310k for 1500 sq ft, 3 bed 2 bath. The builder was the selling agent, which I found interesting, but my agent didn’t think it was worth that much so we went in at 290k, 70 down, I pay closing. He was supposed to get back with me bc she made it seem like I was willing to go that 310k, but make it seem like she was pushing the 290k.... that back fired. My agent is super awesome and friendly so I know she handled it fine.

I think I’m just posting this to let it out bc I was hoping for this one. I know it’s stupid and I shouldn’t get too wrapped up in one house... but damn what am I supposed to do? Settle for a shit house? Everyone is hopping on these so fast and always seem to have such a high offer.

I don’t have too much time to find a house either... maybe a couple more months or so and I will need to rent. Pretty discouraged and just hoping for encouragement or tips or something.

I’m looking at a house tomorrow that’s about 10 more min from everything, built in 2000 but priced a little cheaper. It’ll take about 20 min to get to Kroger... kinda sucks. I might be settling idk. THIS IS A STRUGGLE. I feel like I just lost the house of my dreams... I know that sounds crazy but it really was everything I wanted.

Thanks for reading if you got this far

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/
