During the period to waive conditions can a buyer back out of sales agreement with a new home builder for ANY reason?

Wife and I are contemplating signing a sales agreement/purchase contract to build a home through a new home builder.

The agreement explicitly lists 1 condition, that I am copy/pasting here

​

THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS and the parties agree that the *builder* may cancel this Agreement if, on or before the dates respectively noted for the fulfillment or waiver of each such condition, the Builder has not been notified in writing signed by the purchasers of such fulfillment or waiver:

Subject to purchasers providing a bank statement showing availability of down payment funds on or before Sept 9, 2023

​

​

While it is unlikely that we will change our mind about moving forward with this purchase, my question is, do we (the buyers) have until Sept 09 to back out of this purchase contract regardless of the reason and even once this agreement is signed?

Excuse the newb question as this is our first time purchasing from a builder and the part in this clause that states that the *builder may cancel this agreement* makes me feel uncertain if we as the buyers are also within our rights to cancel or walk away from this agreement or not?

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/
