Any electricians? How serious could this be?

Were in a badly timed situation "The electric service entrance cables appeared to be in need of evaluation. The electrical grounding system wire for the hot water heater was not in use. A licensed electrician should be called to inspect the system." We're buying a house in Florida. We're supposed to close Monday but a hurricane is coming, were in central florida so downed trees and some wind is the threat really.. This is what was on my inspection report. The seller has had trouble getting an electrician out before Monday and offered to get the quote and pay the quote but the repairs would be scheduled after closing.

On the flip side, if we put off closing now, it'd be scheduled for the 12th.. If the storm hits, electricians might be pretty busy and the closing would be further delayed, the loan officer may have us pay for a new inspection and Appraisal and closing could be even further from the 12th.

We're renting and are supposed to be out on the 1st, 48 hours after the hurricane. Getting moved and into a temporary place could be an issue if we delay but we don't want to move into a place if what that inspection report mentions, is dangerous in some way. This timing stinks

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...

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...
