HOA lawsuit on our condo is coming up as we’re about to close

Here’s the situation: our HOA had a hail claim denied for some roof repairs by the insurer. The insurer eventually agreed that the hail damage was covered, now there’s a lawsuit basically saying the HOA wants more than what the insurer wants to pay out. A motion to compel appraisal was granted but the appraisal hasn’t been done.

We knew about this lawsuit and disclosed it properly, but it has only come up now, about a week from closing, for the buyer’s lender. I think the lender may misunderstand and think the lawsuit is about whether there will be coverage for the damage, not how much the payment will be.

I’ve been on my HOA board and a special assessment has never been discussed, because all the HOA wants is for the roof damage to get covered, whatever that costs. I plan to ask the lawyer to write a letter basically saying the lawsuit isn’t about whether coverage is offered for hail damage, but how much the claim will ultimately be. Will this be enough to satisfy the lender’s concerns? The lender has asked how much the damage is, but without the appraisal all we have is guesses, and again I think the lender wonders what will happen if it’s not covered, which isn’t in question.

Curious what y’all think; thanks in advance.

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/
