Styrofoam roof?

Hey guys we moved rural last year. We have this nice home with an acre of land the only issue is we’ve noticed upon moving in is a termite issue, the floorboards caving in from the termites and flooding issues. (We knew about the flooding but they said it wasn’t bad. Funny story tho I actually met the old renter who was here before us and she showed us photos where the cars were underwater and the water was almost coming through the house) this house has obviously got water damage. But back to the point we were checking the roof and I put my hand up because it looked like one part was loose and my finger with the littlest amount of force almost went through the roof. It’s got paint over it but some is fading and it looks like styrofoam. It’s in every room beside 2. Is this normal? If any heavy rain got in through the outside layer our roof of the bedrooms would be gone. Is it actually styrofoam or is there something builders use that feel like it?

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...
