Explain this offer to me?! Offering over list...but want the difference in closing??? Huh?....

Tldr; our realtor went to sleep and didn't explain 10k overlist offer asking 10k in closing...motives??

We just got our first offer on our townhouse (we are still pre market) List: 384,900 Offer: 394,900 asking 10k in closing

???Does that not just make it kind of a moot point?? What is the motivation here? Do they just want us, as sellers, to be all glittery eyes OMG 10k over list...sure here are closing costs.....?????

Our concern is with appraisal our neighborhood doesn't have any recent past comps in the last 6mo and those were at 350s little to no upgrades. We have updated all baths, kitchen and laminate throughout. It shows very well. but 20yo windows,roof,HVAC (all in good/ working condition)

comps in other neighborhoods are in 380-415 similar features, space, community amenities. Many not very updated.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
