Ugh… naturally the day after the inspection period ended, my wife getting cold feet.

We bought a nice house in an area that we don’t necessarily love but that’s near my wife’s family and down the street from her sister and niece. Bought at 390k but this house would be 600k easy in the area we love 25 minutes away. Earnest money deposit was 4 grand and I know now at this point if we decide to back out (my wife is now adamant she doesn’t want to live there) we will lose that 4k unless by some miracle the appraisal comes in really low and the deal dies because of poor LTV.

Just pissed and venting that my wife is putting me in this impossible position. We have two small boys and are planning to have more. I thought we were on the same page that we would live close to “help”/family while our children were little so they could be close to grandparents and cousins and if we wanted to move later we would but…. Here we are, half in-half out

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...
