Offer accepted on our dream home! (DFW, Texas)

EDIT: Removed company/service name

I get the general feeling that this sub’s general sentiment of non-traditional real estate companies isn’t great, but i’m super thankful for them.

We started our search for our next house (young married couple, bought our first home in early 2020) on Monday Feb 14th and found THE house the next day. Not only is it on a lake, extremely modern/contemporary looking, and only 3 years old, but it’s in the sweet spot location-wise between both of our families which was the primary reason we’re looking to move. We toured about 10 other homes, and none even came close.

We used a company’s service, which has them put in an all cash offer on your terms for the new house, you move in once it closes, and after your old house sells on the market you buy the new home from them at the same price.

I’m well aware that this will ultimately will cost us more money from the sale of our current house at closing than a traditional buy/sell process, but i’m convinced that we wouldn’t have had such an easy time buying in this market without it.

Best of luck to everyone else shopping right now - it’s absolutely absurd!

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...

How to Avoid Property Scams in Delhi?

Here’s What You Should Know! Commercial Real Estate (Non-Residential) Buying a property in Delhi can be tricky, especially with all the stories about scams and shady deals. If you're in the market, here are some tips to keep yourself safe:Double-check the documents: Always verify ownership and approvals. Don’t just take someone’s word for it—look at the actual papers.
