Yay! Closed on a house and moved in and the appliances are trashed! Yippee! Who does this?

I told my agent before buying that I had a bad experience with my last home. The owners had unplugged the fridge and it was moody and had food rotting in it. I asked him to make the contract where the appliance would be clean and I wouldn’t be left with a mess. I also asked that he wrote it so there was no garbage for me to take care of. My last house left 12 tires for me which cost me over 100 dollars to recycle.

I just saw my new home for the first time. The fridge has food and grease all over it. Somehow there is splatters of food all over the back of it.

The stove has NEVER been cleaned. It 2 year sold and looks 20 years old. Food mounded and caked on the bottom of it and it looks like they just let it burn each time.

The dishwasher smelled horrible. I thought, maybe I should run it on sanitary cycle and let hot water clean it. Smell never went away. I took out the filter and the moment I touched it I regretted it. Some brown red greasy stuff like sticking your hand in a can of crisco or vasoline. I could not wash it off my hand. I took the filter out and it was CAKED with this greasy stuff. Completely opaque. You could not run any water through it. It’s like the painted it with axle grease.

Then they left poop in the toilet. Poop splattered under the toilet seat. A drawer full of whisker hairs.

Either these people live like disgusting animals or they purposely wanted to piss me off. They are both “professionals” also and were very aggressive demanding sellers.

Now I have to see if there is any recourse.

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/
