Recordation discrepency

My home is recorded by the city as a "bargain sale" however my paperwork has a signed form from seller stating a "fee simple" or "warranty deed" (I think it was the former and it was explained to me when I asked that it's still clean ownership but bc her husband passed).

She built the house with her husband and was on the orgiginal deed with him. He did pass a few years prior to the sale, but my confusion comes from the fact when I Google bargain sale it states that it's a deed that protects the seller from liability against liens or defects bc the seller doesn't typically have the knowledge about the house and used in tax sales and foreclosures typically.

Should I be concerned and have this looked into?

There were a few issues with her honesty and integrity and there were some connections to city officials and unscrupulous behavior on seller's part so I want to make sure if I need to have anything fixed, I get it fixed while I can. Part of me is like it's not a big deal, but the other part is that this is a legal document and I don't want it to possibly cause issues later, plus why should someone be granted potential privileges.

Additionally, one of the mortgage inspections failed, and they needed to correct some stuff. The agent provided me with documentation on the dates the work was to be done. We were allowed to proceed with the mortgage because of this. Well it turns out they never did fix what the mortgage required them to fix. I only had the ability to go off what the agents conveyed to me. Was given date it was scheduled to be fixed and then mortgage proceeded. I had no way of knowing they lied. It wasn't my request to not proceed it was the mortgage company's policy that they weren't proceeding until it was remedied. I was told it was rectified, mortgage was allowed to proceed, so I had no way to know it didn't. They did some other things too and while I've paid or dismissed and moved on, but now seeing this with all the other experiences I've had, I wonder if I need to be concerned.

Thank you.

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/
