My timeline to begin selling my house is about 13 months, after my oldest kid graduates high school in 2027. So that gives a good runway to knock out some repairs. Water heater is new as of this year, front door is new from last year, and the roof is 4 years old. For the other stuff, what is best left to the potential buyer? • one of the bathtubs is very crusty and chipping • the house came with cheap vinyl flooring that is bowing and chipping in the high traffic areas • there are some drywall repairs that need to be done. Some are a must, but the biggest is a prior owner clearly diy’ed a wall that used two pieces of sheet rock and the seam is very visible. • exterior paint? Not sure when the last time the house was painted. • electrical panel looks like it’s still the original from the 80s. • landscaping? It’s not terrible but not great either I’m thinking out of all those, the drywall, exterior paint, and tub are the top priority. submitted by /u/bradd_pit [lin...

Posting for my wife..she’s trying to sell her condo however the res estate agent hasn’t been much help. The listing has spelling errors in the description, the pictures are terrible, and he we haven’t had any new bites in over two weeks. Listing has been almost two months now. My wife says their contract says she’s stuck with him until August. Is there any way out of this? We’re in Massachusetts by the way. submitted by /u/2saintz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1t2ivro/real_estate_agent_not_helping_am_i_stuck/

I need to sell the house me and my ex bought. I cant keep up with the payments and he's not making payments. What is the process to file a partition action? I cant afford an attorney. Its all pro se. He just wont sign, but he wont fight me in court either. submitted by /u/FireFlyLy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1t1rjkj/partition_action/

This is the full list of repairs my realtor wanted to ask for. I do not think all of these are necessary and would remove some but I am just overwhelmed with the amount of things that needs fixed with this home. And this isn’t even all of it! This is a 2009 home being sold above market value and all this stuff is wrong. Our inspection report was 56 pages long. What would you ask for repairs? Am I better off just walking away if they refuse? If you got a sellers concession what would you ask for the total price to do everything myself? Roofing System (See Report: Roofing Section, approx. pages 6-10) • Repair or replace damaged shingles on all elevations • Address ridge cap damage and exposed fasteners • Evaluate and repair hail-related impact damage • Correct flashing issues (lifting, rusted, and missing kickout flashing) • Trim tree branches away from roof • Seal all roof penetrations as needed Attic & Roof Structure (See Report: Attic/Structure, approx. pages 11-13) • R...

I am submitting an offer on a beautiful home this afternoon. My agent strongly believes the house will under appraise (even just a little) because all the comps sold for $20-$40K less. We’re thinking of giving them the price they asked for and then a $15K appraisal gap. I’m sure other buyers will offer higher prices and I’m hoping their appraisals are lower. This isn’t a very high demand area but most homes have been selling 2-3 weeks after listing. I’ve missed out on 2 other homes because my max appraisal was $5K both times. Sellers— what would be most appealing to you? submitted by /u/Throwaway6531310 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1t102ap/sellers_would_you_prefer_a_15k_appraisal_gap_or_a/

(First time buyers here!) So we are under contract for a house and are 5k under asking ($390k home). We asked for under asking because the house was priced a bit high compared to comps given its age and visible condition. We had an inspection that found a bunch of little stuff and some big stuff. All the little stuff we are planning on doing ourselves like fixing the handrail in stairs, sealing driveway cracks, fixing sewer clean out, installing more smoke detectors, etc. Here are the things we asked the seller for: - roof is 20 years old and has hail damage (notably, the seller is older and estimated the roof was 7-8 years old so that’s what we were assuming going into the contract), inspection guy recommended we have the seller replace the roof with their insurance so we asked for that since insuring it in its current state is unlikely. -Radon levels came back high so we are asking they install a radon mitigation system. I think the inspector estimated around $1k -we had a firepl...

Was planning to downsize from an SFH to a townhome because too much of my budget is going to housing (thanks to home insurance and property tax hikes), plus everything else is getting more expensive. The original plan was to close on the new place by the end of March, then put the current home on the market in early April. (I'm in a financial position now that would allow me to buy first, sell second, which would be a sanity-saver as a single parent.) The war started just after I signed the purchase agreement but before I locked, interest rates rose, and I canceled my purchase agreement. I thought I would wait it out until Spring 2027 and try again. But the housing payment anxiety plagues me. (For the record, I have no other debt besides my current mortgage and live frugally.) There are some builders offering 4.87% in my area, which makes a purchase still feel feasible, but even if I bought today, my current home wouldn't hit the market until early/mid-June. Is this terrible t...
