1st Time Home Sellers

We are in the central Fl market and the housing market has cooled significantly. We missed our hottest window to sell last summer due to a tenant in the home and she finally left March 1st. As soon as she left we. We listed our house for sale Feb 1st for $389,000. We bought in 2020 for $274,000 with 3% interest. We are now out of state and want to invest in property in our area and don’t plan to move back to FL. We are currently renting ourselves as we couldn’t afford to buy and could not sell our home at the time of our move due to the tenant we just placed . So it’s going on 60 days that our home has now been on the market in April. But we have received 2 offers in that time. Our first offer was for $370k after 30 days of sitting. We were not too excited and countered at 380k but the buyers wouldn’t budge and then changed their minds. So the. We sat for another 2-3 weeks and got another offer now only for 360k all cash buyer- we also countered at $375- buyer wouldn’t budge. She is still interested in buying and our agent told us the market isn’t getting any better. We are desperate to sell at this point and don’t want the headache of out of state tenants but I’m struggling to be happy with the 80k equity when we could’ve gotten 100+k just a few months ago. In this buyers market should we just hang on to the home and try again next year? I’m so jealous of the bidding wars everyone is still mentioning as our market is extremely slow and everyone has been selling for under asking with minimal buyers making offers.

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/
