Zillow shows homes avail that are pending or off the market vs Realtor.com. I'm wondering why so I can decide to limit my search to 1 site. Is it Zillow? Realtors having to change the status on every search website would be a pita. If I were a realtor, only updating a collective preferred site is what I would do too. submitted by /u/Rrreally [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1nez53k/zillow_slow_to_update_to_pending_vs_realtorcom_do/

I'm selling my house and closing is on Sep 25th. The apartment I'm moving to is not gonna be ready until Oct 1st. I can crash at a friend's house for a week, no problem. But what do I do with my stuff? I could put them in storage, but that means hiring movers twice. Once to move from old place => storage, and then a week later from storage => new place. That could get very expensive. What do people do in such a scenario? submitted by /u/Bourne2Play [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1newfc8/how_to_move_when_you_have_to_leave_the_old_place/

Australia’s housing market is now worth $11.6 TRILLION… bigger than America’s per capita 🤯 The ABS just revealed Aussie property is valued at $11.6 trillion. At first glance that might not mean much, but here’s where it gets crazy. The US housing market is worth around $60 trillion with a population of 330 million. Australia has only 27 million people and yet our market is already one fifth the size of America’s. When you break it down per person, Aussies are carrying one of the most expensive housing markets on the planet. Wages are flat, home ownership rates are falling, and first home buyer schemes seem to just push prices higher instead of fixing affordability. https://www.smartpropertyinvestment.com.au/first-property-buyer/26916-how-to-furnish-your-investment-property-for-maximum-returns submitted by /u/Equivalent_Salad_569 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ne2js5/australias_housing_market_is_now_worth_116/

Why do investors keep over styling their properties like they're selling Kim kardashians holiday house. Tenants don't care about your aesthetic, they care about comfort, durability, and whether the furniture will survive a year without falling apart. Honestly feels like half the money people blow on furnishing is wasted. A solid bed, a decent sofa, and a table that doesn't wobble are all anyone really wants. The rest just makes landlords feel fancy while tenants are the ones dealing with flimsy junk. So what's the play here? & Go cheap and replace as needed? Or spend big upfront hoping it lasts? And does furnishing actually move the needle on rent, or is it just another investor delusion? Keen to hear some experiences because everyone I've spoken to swears their way is the only way. https://www.smartpropertyinvestment.com.au/first-property-buyer/26916-how-to-furnish-your-investment-property-for-maximum-returns submitted by /u/Equivalent_Salad_569 [link]...

Hi! We are already quite close to buying this house, however I would like some outside opinions.

Has anyone here recently used an iBuyer, such as Opendoor, to get a cash offer on a home worth $1.5-2 million? Do these types of buyers only offer on cheaper homes? How far below FMV do they normally offer? Thanks for any intel you have! submitted by /u/Subject_Dragonfly_54 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ndajy2/cash_offer_ibuyers/

Been in my Austin spot for a few years now, and with all the wild weather - hail one day, floods the next - I'm starting to think about stuff that protects the house without a full reno. Gutters seem key since bad ones lead to foundation cracks, which kill resale around here. Mine were rusting out from the 90s install, letting water run down the walls and pool up. Asked on Nextdoor and got pointed to a couple companies, tried Austin Gutter King for their warranty thing - 15 years on install, which is longer than most. They did copper on the front for that durable look against the sun, plus guards so I don't climb up every fall for leaves. Install was half a day, no hassle, and it actually made the exterior pop a bit more. But curious what y'all prioritize: roofs, HVAC, or something else? Does this kinda upgrade show up in comps, or is it just peace of mind? submitted by /u/Karate_Andii [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1nd9e7...

I was shown a home by the buyer’s agent who may also act as my agent although I will probably find my own. (I’ve posted about that here recently but took it down due to confidentiality concerns). During the showing, the agent pointed out a highly visible, long crack in the floor which is definitely wider than hairline, saying it’s been there for for years without much change, maybe has gotten a bit wider. That it was there before the current owner. He said it’s due to a crack in the foundation. He also showed me a whole house reverse osmosis water filtration system and another filtration system to remove silt from the well water. The seller’s disclosure basically says “no” to all questions and provides no information. It says the seller is not aware of any crack in the foundation and that there is no water treatment system in the house, including no reverse osmosis nor other filtration system. I’ve emailed the agent pointing out these glaring inconsistencies in the disclosure. Hav...
