Studio mobile home - catastrophic raw sewage leak

I rent land in a mobile home park. Someone cut the sewer line under my home, and the home is listed for sale (and was when this happened). I am not sure who, but it happened when I was not home and after a park paid plumber fixed the park main sewer line after I filed a state complaint for raw sewage leaking in a cesspool from the main line (owned by park). A state inspector ordered the park to fix their leaking line. I got sick from asthma attack (sewer gas burned my nose) and was at the urgent care (later ER) when the park sent their plumber under my home. He buried the park leaking sewer line, which had been above ground, and someone cut the sewer pipe to my home. Possibly to drain the sewage, since the park lacked an access point to drain, someone cut my pipe. As I got home, the park maintenance guy and receptionist were taking photos under my home. I showered twice in 3 inches of sewage, when the main sewer line put 2 inches of raw sewage into the bathroom before I realized what was going on, and my sinks filled with sewage. The night after I filed my state complaint, I heard a faint sawing sound at that corner of my home. I do not know for sure if the sawing sound and my sewer pipe being cut are related. My friend said call the police or at least file a report, so I did. Sheriff said no one could do anything, unless an expert told him the line was cut. The park plumber refused to put it in writing to me when I asked. I clarified twice by phone he meant “intentionally cut.” I have a plumber coming out to possibly fix it by “getting paid out of escrow,” since the park plumber told my insurance it could have been a prior homeowner who cut it, which does not seem to make any sense, because I had no issues with backups until the main line leaked. Question is- the realtor still says the home can sell. She is great at what she does. Assuming the plumber can fix it, what is the market like for a mobile home in the Bay Area now? Assuming I fix the pipe. I have not had a working toilet since 12/14, lost wages due to being sick, and cannot buy the plumbing parts (veteran fixed income) until three days from now. The park has a sewage violation, and I am so angry that I will be sending my rent check by Fed ex, so I do not have to be in a room with park representatives.

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/
