Assumable VA loan condo seller changed his mind a week before closing

We found a great deal for a condo with an assignable VA loan at 2.23% which is unheard of. We have been under contract with it for over 3 months and have done everything we needed to. We are at underwriting now and should close within a week or two. The problem is the contract stipulates the deal has to close by June 20th. Assuming a VA loan takes forever so we needed the time. We did everting as fast as possible as far as providing documentation etc to the loan officer.

So as of yesterday our realtor informed us the seller just now realized by us assuming his VA loan would mean he loses his benefits. He claims he did not know that and we are taking advantage of him not knowing and we are going to cost him tons of money if we don’t back out. He also refuses to sign an extension which is a big problem because I have a feeling we will need another few days past the 20th to close. It’s been over 3 full months and we need an extra 5 days and now he changed his mind and the deal might fall through. How could this guy not know what happens with VA assumable loans?? And the audacity for him to claim we are bad people if we go through with the deal despite him changing his mind at the last minute.

Edit: just got an email and the contract has officially been canceled. 3 months and $1200 wasted because this moron didn’t know about assuming VA loans. Just had to rant I guess

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...

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/
