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...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

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/
