Kind Of In A Panic

I am not sure how to write this, so I am going to be as delicate as possible.

My wife and I (and daughter) moved 2.5 hours away from where we used to live. We did this because we wanted to be closer to our sisters who live 30 min away (our sisters live in different areas so we wanted to find a spot that was somewhat of a middle ground so we would be equal distance of each other). Anyway, we bought a home that we really liked. However, the neighborhood is all muslim and we did not know that when we bought the home. The town itself is not, but our street is.

Once we moved in, we found this out. I mean, unless you look up every neighbor on the county website, you would have no idea. Just to get this out there, we were completely fine with it. We have made efforts to connect with the neighbors, introduced ourselves, etc. But it seems were are being avoided and do not seem interested in getting to know us. I just want to make sure our daughter can find her tribe, and it just isn't working out.

Our house is on the market now (8 months after moving in), and we are priced very low (especially to comps around the area). So we do not have a pricing problem. Every feedback has been your house shows beautiful, great updates, modern design, etc. So lots of showings, no offers. So I am starting to panic. I hope possibly a Muslim family would buy the home, but that has not who has been viewing our home for showings. I really wanted to make this work, but I do not know what to do

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/
