Is this a new thing? Kind of a vent here. I realize everything is usually available online but if I’m out and see a for sale sign with info about a property via flyers or a permanent info poster, there’s hardly ever a price listed. I gotta dig for it online. Anyone know why? It’s super annoying to have no idea about even the range. Maybe it’s just my area…but I think it’s a mistake if you are a broker is choosing this route. I would think it’ll slow the process if someone is seriously interested. submitted by /u/mydoghank [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ukld33/why_no_price_listed_on_real_estate_sale_signs_and/

Emailed funeral home for a copy but no luck. My mom doesn't have a credit or debit card but has valid ID. Live close to Philadelphia.

Me and partner live in TN. Both make together 60k a year. Living in rural area. I feel like I want to be a home owner, but with how the market is, I’m not sure is possible. I’ve considered manufactured homes but my parents say that’s a terrible investment, it’s like a car and will just depreciate over time. Any tips would be useful Edit: in-laws have extra land willing to gift us 1 acre, but it’s about 25 minutes from town. But unsure if living on same property as the parents is a good idea. submitted by /u/slotmachinebox [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ujzgtr/feeling_a_bit_underpowered_in_the_market/

Hello! I’m looking to get some feedback on a situation that is a bit unusual, so please bear with me. I currently own a condo and just over one year ago, our building was struck by a tornado and suffered pretty severe damage as a result. The roof was destroyed, and extensive flooding occurred, requiring a full restoration all the way down to the studs. This restoration took just over a year, and thankfully it turned out beautiful. Due to the storm, I lost ALL of my furniture (bed, couch, desk, etc) when I moved out. During the year I was gone, I also made the decision to sell my home once the repairs were completed. Ultimately, I was able to move back about a week ago. As I have never sold a home before, I mistakenly thought that not having furniture would be an asset to the sales process. When I purchased it myself, the previous owner had already moved out, and it was completely empty (I was wrong). However, I’m now working with my real estate agent, and she’s stressed the import...

I want to review the pictures and listing copy before they get posted for my house that's going up for sale this week. I thought we were clear about that during our interview, but our agent still hasn't shared pictures and when we pushed last night, the agent expressed surprise that we wanted to see everything beforehand. They said once it goes live, if we have issues, they would work with us to fix them. ​​​​​​​And that no one has asked for this before (they have 20+ years of experience). I don't think it's unreasonable to want to preview everything, since we are liable for the information and I've seen some bad pictures before. I've asked for a call this afternoon, but who is wrong here? Me or the agent? Am I being unreasonable? ​​​​​ submitted by /u/Pretty_Swordfish [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1uiq8mg/preview_listing_for_my_house_before_it_goes_live/

Two questions on the housing bill. I'm not educated on three subject so these are just thoughts I'm looking to get answers on. It limits institutional investors to 350 new homes or less. Don't most large scale investors build ENTIRE neighborhoods ask at once that they make into rentals of 100+ homes at a time. Not buy existing homes. So wouldn't those extra homes just not get built in the first place, limiting supply even more? My current neighborhood is 150 homes that are all rentals built by DRH. If they didn't buy the land no one would have ever built homes here. The bill doesn't push investors already with large numbers of homes to sell in X years. Many of the biggest builders are also large scale investors who build their own homes then turn around and rent them. Like DRH. They both build homes to sell and build homes to rent. Building less homes means empliying less contractors and building costs will go up. They tend to reuse the same contractors be...

i bought my house in 2024 with a va loan and got a rate of 6.8%. i really want to bring it down but im worried its not a good time to refinance. ive heard a lot of mixed thoughts from friends and family saying to wait but I dont trust them with finances that much, so figured id crowdsource before i start calling lenders who are obviously going to try and sell me on a refi. this is my first house and ive never done any of this before so any advice is welcome! submitted by /u/Michvito [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1uikrak/i_have_a_68_va_loan_is_now_a_bad_time_to_refinance/

My wife and I currently live with our two young kids in a 3BR that’s 1074 sq ft. We have a bit of a sweetheart deal ($1050/month), but can’t have pets, and would like more space. Twice we toured a new build that’s been on the market for 300+ days. There are four identical units that started out at $390k and now are at $365k. 2000 sq ft total (1400 finished; 600 unfinished basement). We both like the home and feel we could be happy, but it’s also not amazing (cramped kitchen/dining/living; no pre-plumb in the basement for a bathroom, small lot, etc). I’m thinking of offering/asking this: -$365 (asking price) -$10k in closing costs/rate buy down -Builder frames, roughs in electrical, insulates, and does the drywall. Basically a “white box” finish, where we could do the paint and flooring. My good friend, Gemini AI, tells me the builder will be desperate and should at least consider this. I also know, however, that Gemini can be an idiot. Thoughts? Location: Wyoming - sub...

I’m under contract to buy a $930k home in Utah directly from the owners (no agents involved). The home is about 20 years old. The sellers previously had the home appraised for $990k , which is one of the reasons I felt comfortable agreeing to the price. The house was listed at $935k. During negotiations I agreed to increase my offer to $930k so the sellers could net the amount they wanted. They also agreed to a $5k closing cost credit. Since I’m not using a buyer’s agent, they’re also avoiding paying a buyer’s agent commission. After the inspection, the biggest issue was the roof. The sellers told me they had recently spent about $2,000 repairing it, and their roofing contractor said those repairs should extend its life another five years. My home inspector disagreed and said the roof was at or near the end of its expected life. Rather than argue over one opinion versus another, I hired two independent roofing contractors. Both came back with essentially the same conclusion as my...
