My ex partner and his friend tricked me into selling my house

I am in an extremely awful predicament. I am hoping someone can help me.

In 2002, my husband and I built our house in Western Australia. We had 3 beautiful girls together. Unfortunately, in June 2009, he passed away from a brain aneurysm leaving me widowed with a 4 year old and twin 2 year olds.

In 2011, I met, what I thought at the time, was a lovely, caring man, who understood that I was grieving. I'll him Adam. I had a son with him in 2012. However, by 2013, I was struggling with my mortgage. Adam told me not to worry and that he would help me. Unbeknownst to me, he contacted an individual that could have been a friend of his, I don't really know. I'll this guy Bob. They both convinced me to sell Bobl my house. Apparently, the plan was to buy it back in 5 years from the sale date.

I signed the papers and Adam convinced that I had done the right thing. The whole time, Adam told me that he had control of everything and not to worry about it. Little did I know to what extent Adam had taken over my life. Slowly, but surely, Adam began to reveal his true colours. At first blaming alcohol but then, he began blaming me until I became a shell of myself. I didn't recognise myself anymore.

After years of coercive control, manipulation, gaslighting and abuse, I kicked him out. 3 months later, I found out in November 2024 that he had never done anything to get my house back. Adam had lied to me and now I am facing eviction.

I only heard from this "landlord" , Bob in November 2024 with a single letter stating that I owed $50 000 in rent. I have never dealt with this individual. Last time I had any contact was 2015. He appeared at my door while I was at work and told my now 17 year old twin daughters and 12 year old son that they need to get out due to non payment of rent. He also shoved some paperwork into my girl's hands.

Adam had claimed that he had gotten the house back and I foolishly believed him. Bob never did any maintenance, repairs or anything to the house at all. It was all me.

I am really worried and scared. This man and my ex partner made some sort of deal that I was completely oblivious to and I am on the verge of losing everything. I have had no correspondence from the "landlord" , Bob at all. Only in 2015 and once on November 2024.

Please, I am desperate. I need help. I don't know what to do.

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/
