« on: July 15, 2020, 08:58:11 PM »I guess NY/NJ doesn't use common sense or some are misinformed.The former.
In NY there’s generally no 3rd party escrow. The deposit is held by the sellers attorney in escrow.

« on: July 15, 2020, 12:29:44 PM »How so? It would be contingent on a HI.Contracts are not free unless you do them yourself. Theres generally a deposit on contract. And good luck getting your deposit back without a costly legal battle when the seller doesnt agree to the HI findings when you want to back out or renegotiate based on the HI.

These things are all negotiable. If the seller is not willing to make a contingency for it that should tell you something.

« on: July 14, 2020, 01:42:32 PM »depends on the market. In a strong sellers market almost all contingencies are waived, including home inspection. That's the way it was in BOS up until COVID19. Only contingency granted was mortgage contingency.That doesn’t even make sense. Home inspection is before contract signing.

Interesting that for 6 years when R Silverberg answered shailos on R Forst’s Halacha hotline nobody accused him of having poor standards. Now that he has a hashgocha though....

« on: May 18, 2020, 11:07:52 PM »https://nypost.com/2020/05/18/nyc-neighborhoods-with-highest-coronavirus-death-rates/”The eastern tip of the Rockaways, 11691, has logged 288 fatalities in total, translating to a death rate of 444 per 100,000 residents.”
Wow. Talk about a misleading article. Maybe it should’ve mentioned that the Far Rockaway zip code 11691 has the highest concentration of nursing homes in NY State with 11.
