Feeeling a bit hopeless

We bought my parents house and added an in law in 2012. They live with us but it’s been not the best experience. Our relationship has gone severely downhill in the last 13 years to the point where we barely speak. It’s a long story I don’t need to get in to, but my husband and I are ready to move on, separately. We don’t like the town anymore, the house doesn’t suit us anymore, and we hate the very busy main street the house is on. We had the discussion last week with my parents and they agreed to find their own place.

I got so excited that my future was finally looking brighter and we didn’t have to be stuck in this house with my parents anymore. Called a realtor yesterday, discussed our options. Selling won’t be a problem, but buying could be because sellers are not taking offers with contingencies. So basically our options are to sell and move in with family (not an option ) or to rent (which is $$$ and we have 2 dogs).

I’m feeling so bummed because it took me so long to get the guts to even have the convo with my parents, and that all went so smoothly, and now I feel like we’re still going to be stuck here.

Guess I’m just venting, but also looking for any ideas or other options anyone might have.

Thanks!

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...

How to Avoid Property Scams in Delhi?

Here’s What You Should Know! Commercial Real Estate (Non-Residential) Buying a property in Delhi can be tricky, especially with all the stories about scams and shady deals.
