Should I keep pursuing this?

My husband and I moved from Midwest to AZ this summer. We decided to buy a house and found a realtor that was a referral from a local agent friend. This guy was slow and a little off from the start but we had already signed. We found a house and after an accepted offer, started the inspection process. Buy the house, no problems we know of. Fast forward a few months later and we hate AZ. We decided to move back to our old town and my husband got his old job back. We list the house and it goes under contract quickly. Great! The inspection comes back saying we need to replace the entire roof. Which is crazy because we bought this house a few months ago no issue. We start asking questions and find out the same roof inspector was out before we closed and did a roof inspection and it came back saying the roof needed replacement. Our buyers agent never passed it along to us and never responded to any emails to roof inspection company. They reached out to him 5 times. We are now responsible for repairs and costs in order to sell our house, or buyer will walk. We reach out to the realtor and he basically asks questions then stops responding. Also, he sends us this text saying his wife left him during our buying process and he was distracted. Like we care or that would matter to us? We have contacted a lawyer and they said we have a open and shut case since we have all the receipts from the roofing inspector reaching out to our realtor. Also we never got the inspection report. Only a fabricated one our realtor did to make it look good before we closed. The problem is we are looking at a small amount of money. We negotiated with the buyers to split roof costs (we will pay $5k). I want to nail these losers that screwed us but I’m afraid it will cost more in legal fees than it’s worth. Advice?

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...

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...
