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.

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...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
