Got approved from builder’s lender yesterday, husband laid off today. Closing won’t be until late Dec/early Jan 2026. What do we do?

We have just signed a purchase agreement and been approved for loan for a new construction home by the builder’s lender (a requirement to move forward with the new build). We’ve put about $30k down as earnest money and a deposit for our new home’s materials. Unfortunately, my husband got laid off and now we are unsure of what to do.

Our closing date won’t be until the home is fully built which is currently looking like late December or early January (builder is waiting on permits to begin construction).

We only qualified for this loan because of my husband’s income. A few questions…

Has anyone been in this situation before? What steps did you take?

If we aren’t closing for several months should we still inform the builder’s lender? We aren’t set on using them for our home loan but were required to get approved by them to move forward with construction. We have the option to choose our own lender later on.

Since closing is so far out, will this lender revoke our approval because of the job loss? We’re hoping he can find something before end of summer but obviously nothing is guaranteed.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

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...

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/
