Should I get a new realtor? Selling a house in foreclosure

Sorry I know this sub gets this question a lot but hopefully I can get some answers here.

I live in VA and have received a notice from my lender two weeks ago that my home will be foreclosed. Lender claims it will take 60 to 90 days but I’m feeling uneasy about it. I feel like it might happen sooner and I’m losing sleep over it. It’s my first foreclosure on my very first home ( not my choice but the job market sucks) I contacted a realtor to see if I could list the home before I went into foreclosure. I do have equity and I would hate to lose it. The home is older not the best( it’s a flipper house) so it needs work. However I but I figure I should get something for at least.

The problem I have is my realtor. I understand I can’t make anyone buy the house however. It’s been a month since I’ve last heard from them. I’ve sent a text message twice within that time frame just asking for an update and I get nothing in response. Even when I called I have not received a callback. Again I know I can’t make someone buy the house but the lack of response is just very concerning. My gut says it’s time to move on but I don’t want to jump prematurely.

I’m out on medical leave but I have not been paid, I’m well behind on bills ( which is the only phone calls I do get regularly) needless to say it’s all extremely stressful. Combined with the realtor bit, my gut feeling is to find someone else but I’m not sure if it’s just anxiety and I’m being impatient.

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...

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/

Co-signing as non-primary resident - effect on size of required downpayment & first time home buyer status?

Contemplating co-signing on a house with my mom and splitting the mortgage payment. I currently have a significantly higher income and much better credit than her. I'm looking at potential home costs and related downpayments but have difficulty using some of the online estimators. From my perspective, this would be somewhat of an investment purchase (I intend to stay in my current location in a different state and contribute to the mortgage), however, for my mom, this would be a primary residence. For purposes of the downpayment size and the type of mortgage arrangement, would it be an investment property or a primary residence? Many thanks for any help. submitted by /u/piercalicious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/km4hvl/cosigning_as_nonprimary_resident_effect_on_size/
