New mortgage while furloughed from federal government?

My house just went under contract. Exciting! I have another house picked out, but have not made an offer yet. I work for the federal government and am now concerned I won’t be able to obtain a mortgage until the government shutdown is over. I “should” receive back pay, since it it signed into law, but I hear the threats. Anyone have advice?

My current home is selling for $742k. I owe around $300k. New home asking price is $725k, but it is overpriced and sitting. Both homes are in MD. My mortgage broker said I may be able to draw from my 401k ($500k+) to show income, until the shutdown is over, but I’m only 50 years old and single. Can I even do this? I have around $35k in cash, so I can afford to live for a bit.

I will have to find temporary housing until I close on a new home. I’m fortunate to have my parents nearby or could pay upfront to rent.

On a positive note, I have time to pack! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I realize I am very fortunate to be in this situation, I’m just trying to navigate where to go from here.

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...
