Buyer experience with Opendoor

For the record I’m a FTHB so I could just be sounding like an idiot here...

There is a townhome for sale I’m interested in that is being sold by Opendoor.

However, I have two issues with this property:

  1. The previous owners owe about $7,500 in unpaid HOA dues and I haven’t been able to confirm with the HOA what the actual payment amount is and details surrounding repayment.

  2. Neither myself nor my realtor can get ahold of the HOA to confirm the pet policies and I have a 50lb dog. Every other HOA property I’ve offered on I’ve been able to confirm this ahead of time.

Do you think it’s worth touring this place and potentially submitting a low ball offer (I refuse to pay the overdue fees unless I get it for under list price)? My realtor says they have been able to negotiate a lower price with a previous Opendoor listing, but I’m curious to see if anyone else has experience with Opendoor as a buyer?

I’m only asking at this point because this is the 2ND time this house has gone back on market. I don’t have a need to move urgently so a long closing isn’t a deal breaker for me.

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...
