New construction closing in 30 days, builder says garage doors won't be available.

State is Montana by the way. I've been in contract for a new construction home for the past year. After many setbacks I was happy to receive the official notice of closing coming up.

I went out to visit the lot and spoke with the builders agent who said that in addition to having to wait till after winter for landscaping (snow everywhere) the garage doors are proving to be impossible to get and it won't be available by closing.

I spoke with the foreman and he said that their either boarding the garages up with plywood or can leave them open.

I'm... Really not sure how to handle this situation. I know getting doors is a national issue right now but I also know once I close the house is bought 'as is, where is'.

How can I go about ensuring that the developer will actually obtain and install the doors once supplies are more available?

To my benefit, this house is in phase 1 and near the entrance, of a 4 phase development so any lack of exterior items like this will be very visible to anyone coming to the development. Especially if I go with them plywooding the garage closed.

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...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

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/
