Update -- The listing agent just informed our agent that our offer indeed made it to the bank last night and quote: " Seller counter offer from previous Buyer on multiple offer and is waiting for a reply. Will let you know what happens."
That sentence is so poorly written, so I'm trying to decipher if:
1) They are waiting on a single buyer to respond to a counter offer
2) They are considering multiple offers, including ours to make a decision
Remember, the first feedback we got was that the bank had sent a counter to their top offer and we're waiting for a reply, and that there were also several offers in the pool.
This is a HomeSteps house, so does anyone know if they consider offers one at a time, or if they look at the offer pool entirely? Any additional comments would be appreciated.... more
I am not familiar with particular subdivision, but coming from Chicago, and knowing Austin, horrible traffic is probably quite different in Austin from what we see here inChicago.
Why so many homes come up for sale in one area, sometimes there are real reasons for it, something the current owners are familiar with, things like a highway will soon come through near by, just making this up, but often as funny as it sounds, selling homes are like mushrooms especially
in a subdivision....
One neighbor puts a house on the market - and sells it well so another one wants to move on as well.
The other thing that often happens and more so in subdivisions when they were first build a similar
family age group moved in, and then the children have grown up, the homes are getting to small, or they have had more babies, or now the high school distance from the home become important, or
they changes jobs and now the commute is too long...
It's life that happens to all of us.
You can always knock on the door of some of the selling owners and ask them why they are moving
no harm done and you can get some peace of mind to be able to decide to move there.

we have just had the same situation yesterday our mortgage lender has valued the property we wish to purchase 40k less. Estate agent said this never happen before. not true as I see from all the different web sites. He wants to challenge the mortgage lender who we have spoken to and has over 30 years experience of doing evaluations. Poor show really as this whole situation needs to be governed which it isn’t and creates additional costs to buyers and sellers.... more

Hi Tarica,
There is no transfer tax, but you will have an attorney fee for a new warranty deed and the recording fees if they deed a portion of the property to you after closing.
If they purchase and want you as a borrower, that will be a discussion that you will need to have with the lender.
As for the income tax implications, you should consult with your CPA.
What area are they looking to buy in? I do have a great lender that I can refer you to so you can start running purchase scenarios.
Please call or email me.
