Crazy seller

We were sent a listing of a very nice apartment by a real estate agent but it was out of our budget. The agent told us the seller is in under pressure of 2nd loan she took and asked us to visit and give our best offer. So we did and the seller somehow agreed which was 25% less than asking price and it was above €1million. We signed a pre sales agreement that we intend to buy and the agent said let’s put the date after a month for notary process in the agreement. We applied for loan and got the approval so we told the agency. The bank said it will take 3 weeks more as it was holiday season. We communicated it to the agency and then the seller turned crazy. She started emailing us daily why it’s taking time and why do we need to get life insurance(bank asked us to take it and they checked it was mandatory). My husband was the same bank employee and we had loan benefit so we couldn’t switch banks. She knew this thing before.

While waiting for the insurance company to give us the contract, my husband had to travel to our home country as his father had a brain stroke and was in ICU.

I informed the agency and the “crazy seller” of our situation and told her my husband will be back soon. And it will take him 3 days to do the medical tests for insurance once he is back and we can still sign it on the date bank agreed.

She became fanatic and started sending insane amount of emails harassing us. We were already distressed so I asked her not to contact us unless we hear from bank. Next day she sent us a legal notice to pay her EMI and interest of second loan as her payment date was 20th and our signing date was 30th. We contacted a good lawyer and he shared all the documents to theritand informed us as long as we are not delaying intentionally this law doesn’t apply.

We signed the notary on the very date and she had a proxy on her behalf. Now we are living in the apartment for a month and receive another legal notice to pay her €40k instead of initial 9k as her interest rate has increased and her EMI of old and new apartment.

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/
