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...

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/
