Find who recently purchased a house?

I rent an ADU/Guest house behind the main house, and the owners (who moved out of state months ago) recently sold it. Along with the sale came giving us our 30 day notice, when I asked if the new buyers were interested in continuing to rent out the guest house, while he said 'oh yeah I think some they have elderly parents they'll be moving in' - it came off like he was making this up on the spot and it hadn't crossed his mind to actually ask the new buyer.

I've been viewing places for rent for the last 2 weeks so if the new buyers indeed don't want to rent out the guest house, no problem, I'll be gone before they're moving in.

I can also imagine something where the buyer mentioned an elderly parent eventually moving in here, but that being a plan for years down the road.

But I don't like any of my options better than where I am now, so I'd really like to make sure the new owners were asked.

So - how can I find out who bought the place? Too early for actual property records to be updated, the sale is in escrow currently.

I don't want to tell my landlord I don't believe them. I don't want to contact my landlords agent either.

The buyer had their own agent, which I met and chatted with a bit - but I can't remember his name and all of the listings online that show the sale pending only shows my landlords agent.

I'll crush me if I go through the hassle of moving somewhere I like less, and already signed a 1 year lease when my current place shows up online for rent.

I know there's some system that only agents have access to, would it show this? Would anyone be willing to look this up for me? Again, I am only seeking to contact the agent of the buyer, which I assume there's no issues with sharing.

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/
