Rude realtor makes me not want to offer on a house

We’ve been looking for the past couple months and have finally found the home we believe fits all of our requirements and is within our price range. We attended a lot of the open homes and talked to the agent and he was sweet talking us at the time but when it came to auction, it was basically a total bust. The highest bid was way below what the sellers wanted and we had explained that we couldn’t bid too high because we were still waiting on finance which was coming the next day and didn’t want to risk it (auction was Sunday, Monday we received the finance).

The partner agent told us to just submit our offer on Monday as we still had bidder rights until the house officially goes on the market after auction and so we did - the selling agent immediately declined the offer, which was a really good offer, and reworded our offer email which just made it sound like he was making fun of us to be honest. I understand being irritated by a failed auction but we were not the only people who made it a fail.

They’ve now listed the house “for sale” and the price is set way higher than what they were initially asking for (more than 200k more) and I know that they can probably negotiate down to the original price but I honestly feel so bad about how he treated us after the auction that I’m not sure if we should even give our money to this man. We haven’t found a house better suited for our needs and I know there’s always going to be another house but I don’t know if his rudeness is worth giving up the house we want. I also just kind of feel he may he rigid on the price because he knows who we are and he’d be more lenient on someone else.

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...

Co-signing as non-primary resident - effect on size of required downpayment & first time home buyer status?

Contemplating co-signing on a house with my mom and splitting the mortgage payment. I currently have a significantly higher income and much better credit than her. I'm looking at potential home costs and related downpayments but have difficulty using some of the online estimators. From my perspective, this would be somewhat of an investment purchase (I intend to stay in my current location in a different state and contribute to the mortgage), however, for my mom, this would be a primary residence. For purposes of the downpayment size and the type of mortgage arrangement, would it be an investment property or a primary residence? Many thanks for any help. submitted by /u/piercalicious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/km4hvl/cosigning_as_nonprimary_resident_effect_on_size/

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/
