Buyer keeps adding addendums and seller agent is putting us at risk

We have foolishly signed 2 addendum, the first when our agent said we would be in breach if we didn’t sign. We received it on a Sunday morning and the buyer 5 day option expired at 5:00 that night. That addendum lowered the price in lieu of repairs.

Two days later, without warning, another addendum was presented giving buyers 21 days to secure funding. Our realtor did not explain that to us. She simply said it was standard 3rd party required documentation.

Now at 9:00 pm on 10/11 we receive a forwarded email saying ANOTHER signed document is required. Buyer 21 day addendum ends Monday. I contacted an attorney who told us do not sign another document and terminate this sale. We are overwhelmed.

Can we refuse to sign yet another addendum and this legally termites the sale. Buyers will use Hurricane Milton as reason for delay, although appraiser met the deadline. Buyer agent is aggressive. She’s the mother and inspector was a friend.

In the meantime we are now facing a possible cancer diagnosis. We do not have other living arrangements. We have medical tests on 10/25.

Can we terminate if they don’t have funding and we refuse to sign another document. The VA lender is saying it’s because the language changed and buyer AND seller must sign. It hasn’t been presented. They discovered this 17 days into their 21 day extension?

We’re in our 70s and feel utterly abandoned by our realtor. Can we put a contingency that says we have the right to terminate if we receive an unforeseen cancer diagnosis, especially because we do not have other living arrangements? Can we refuse to sign whatever they’re preparing.

We thought we had an attorney but don’t.

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...
