Our rental (we rent) house is being sold and we have to move but I want to buy.

This is more a rant if anything. Myself (30F) and my partner (32M) are renting. Our Real Estate agent has just phoned and said that the owner is going to put the house on for sale in the market and that hopefully it will be purchased by investors and we can continue to live here. I Wanted to purchase our first home at the end of this year as currently, I have 40K in savings and my partner has 18k(AUD).

I am so disheartened because anywhere in my state really has property that is just super inflated prices and I can’t even get a first home owners grant because it will be over 700,000. We need a minimum a freestanding house garage (for his cars) and largeish yard for our dogs. We are willing to move away, but seven hours away is just as expensive 😵‍💫

Is there any hope of us purchasing a house that is around 600/700 with what we have? Both work full time. I’m on 90K my partner on 65K.

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...

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.
