Under contract; promised parcel through Quit Claim

Hello Reddit and thank you in advance 🙏

First time home buyer in South Florida.

Prior to making a deal there’s a small parcel in front of my land/house. I asked my agent to ask listing agent to find out who owns smaller parcel which I have to go through per “right of way” to access my lot.

Was informed by listing agent they didn’t know who owned it and we were unable to locate an address for it either. Due to being overly excited we put an offer and went under contract instead of doing more research.

(We are purchasing a house from an investment company from California. Their listing agent is also their property management company)

After our survey, we were then informed of setback rules which would ruin our plans to build on this property. I did my own research and later discovered that the company we are purchasing the house from ALSO owned that small parcel.

I shared to my agent that I felt misled and lied to as this smaller parcel already gave me doubts in the 1st place. He shared to the listing agent who claimed she had no idea her client ALSO OWNED that parcel. So we asked to find out their plans for the parcel and if they are willing to let it go (for a price or as part of the original purchase of sales agreement)

A week later the listing agent informed my agent that the company has no use of such small parcel (25ft by 50 ft) and decided to give/let go of that parcel via QUIT CLAIM DEED. And that I would have to file it and pay the fees ONCE WE CLOSE ON THE HOUSE this Wednesday.

I asked my agent to create an addendum to bind said parcel/earn a guarantee that this COMPANY WILL give up that parcel. He stated by adding to current contract, it might jeopardize our current deal with the lender/approval process.

I asked for the alternative which would be a letter or statement stating said plans for the small parcel to be given to us once we closed, in which my agent responded with “I have it in writing and text which should be enforceable”

May I have advice on this process? I’m still pushing for a letter but am I also verthinking this? The deed on public records shows the company owning this parcel. Thank again

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/
