Seller hasn’t moved out 48 hours before close

Hopefully this post isn’t too long but here is the cliff notes of our situation. My wife and I just met with the notary tonight to sign off the final closing paperwork on the townhouse we are buying in CA. During the signing she mentioned that when she met with the seller at the home this past weekend it looked like she hadn’t packed a single thing even though she is supposed to be out on the 17th. Then when we were finishing up with signing the paperwork our real estate agent showed up and told us that the seller all of sudden wants more time to move out. Apparently she still doesn’t have a place to move to and the stupid woman has 2 children. This entire thing threw a massive wrench into our plans since we had movers scheduled for Saturday and we told our apartment we were moving out by the end of the month but now we are stuck for at least another week which is going to cost us money.

We are still closing on Wednesday so that we don’t lose our insanely low rate of 5.75% (long story but basically our mortgage broker screwed up and put down the wrong rate on a dock we all signed, should have been 7.25%) and I am scared this stupid woman will refuse to move out. She has been such a pain during this entire process and as we have been going through closing we found out that the seller basically can’t afford the place (she bought it in 2021 for $325k and is selling to us for $345k) and that she was behind by almost $5k alone on her HOA. Hopefully she will be out by this weekend but if she doesn’t move out we may get stuck with a squatters situation. I will post an update once I know more.

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/
