I had a realtor give me a tour of property I was curious about now they kept pushing me to make an offer, is it rude to drop her?

I’m looking to buy in a condo complex. I already own here and am curious about getting a 2nd. I asked a realtor to give me a tour of a unit to see if I’d be interested in it at all.

However, after touring I didn’t feel strong enough to pursue making any offers.

However this realtor kept following up with me and pushing me to make an offer or buy one of the other units that are listed. She kept calling me every other day to see what I think about the other units. That I should make an offer, she thinks it’s a good deal etc.

I didn’t really want to, but ended up making a lowball offer for 2 units. One countered at a reasonably below market price but it’s not an ideal unit for me as it looks like the current owners had an ongoing leak and did a bunch of cheap repairs.

Anyways, they countered today with an expiration of this afternoon. I told my realtor to extend till Monday to let me think about it. And she point blank asked “I’m not understanding what you need to think about?” As if I’m buying a $10 lunch.

It’s been about 2 weeks since she’s been calling me nonstop. To be fair she did a decent amount of work talking to the seller agents, but I found all these properties myself.

Would it be rude if I told her I’m not interested in buying anymore without any reason and drop her as a realtor? She is being way too pushy

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/
