First Estate Home in NJ, the loops and hoops I had go through [Part 1]

Proposed Price: $4.05M which includes the following: two separate lots, two deeds and will go over the complexity issues what I had to go though.

There are two deeds and two different lots.

(a)1 Main House/ Estate [7 Bed, 11.5 Bath, 7,000sqft, 12 acres cleared with trees on the lot lines only]

(b) 1 Barn 20,000sqft need TLC

(c) 1 Care Taker's Apartment [4 apartments, 3bed 2 baths ~1,800sqft each unit, followed by 9 .2acres. This one is farm assessed]

(d) 1 Airplane hanger 15,000sqft with 10,2acres of landing strip

Process of viewing the home was somewhat simple at first; had to submit a formal inquiry with supporting documents such as pre-approval and or (POF). After it was accepted it, I was granted with permission to view the property and items a, b, and d.

Second showings are the item b , the caretakers house which was scheduled after you saw the main property basically.

I started the preliminary talks saying I was interested to sellers lawyers directly. We had permission to run some background check via title company etc.

One week after the first showing we seen the caretakers apartments.

Currently the main estate (a) without the adjourning lot (b,c,d) here is what I uncovered.

(a) is owned by the seller and his ex wife.

(b) is owned seller and joe doe.

I put an informal offer vs official offer; difference is between the two 14 pages long for each deed vs a simple one sheeter. If accepted the informal we would transition to the official one.

My offer was $3.75M contingent on inspection, appraisal, highest and best usage coming back x, and the airport runaway usage and rights.

Counter Offer was $3.975M with proposed breakdown of the purchase as follows:

(a) Main Estate for 1.725M

(b) (c) (d) $2.25M

Important thing to remember is the main estate included a ex wife scenario so my lawyers are projecting "potentially" wants to pay out less to the ex.

Caretakers rent must not be increased for until starting 2026. (I have no issues with this)

Currently in research and due diligence on is airport landing strip rights transferable, perc test, and etc which is expected to be finished and information to be delivered to me by 10am coming Monday.

Caretakers rent is and hasnt increased at all in 7 years lol. $1,900, $2,000, $2,500 total $6,400.

I have yet to accept the counter and currently thinking to recounter or just accept. Its been on and off the market for 4 years.

[Part 2] will start on Monday; by the way im mid 36 and not married.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

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...
