Selling house - Issue in underwriting

My wife and I listed a house the week before Christmas. We accepted an offer 5 days later. The couple that is buying the house relocated here for their job sometime back and found a place to rent. Their lease was up the middle of January so they were hoping to close as soon as possible on our house due to that. They are now staying in an AirBnb.

They are in underwriting and an issue has come up with their employment. From what our agent is relaying to us, the buyer has worked at the same place for a while but just recently it was bought out by another company so this is being questioned. They (the buyers) are fed up with this taking so long so now they are wanting to possibly switch lenders if this can't be resolved soon. Our contract expires 2/10 so if they do switch lenders I don't see anyway we make that date.

I'm curious what other people think we should do here. Their agent is asking would we be willing to rent the house to them until we can close if they switch lenders. We said we don't want to do that because if they are having issues with this lender, who's to say they won't have issues with the next one and we don't want to be in that situation.

Should we just be nice and say we will extend for an additional week or two and let them work this out? Should we ask for a little more money since we are most likely going to be paying another mortgage note and utilities? What are yall's thoughts?

Maybe worth noting, they gave us a full price offer but we are paying all closing and giving them a home warranty.

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

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
