[Question] My Real Estate --> later: sell or rent?

Hi

I wanted to ask because of my future house situation, what would you recommend.

Currently, my mother owns and lives in the house (H1) with her boyfriend.

My sister owns and lives next door in house (H2).

H1 has 120-130 square meters

H2 has 70-80 square meters, is a semi-detached house.

G is a garage for 1 car.

Red are doors / gates.

Remaining white area is the garden. Rather, 2 sections, top with lawn and hedges, bottom with vegetables (grandma) and a way downward.

Area is quiet, however, with motorway access nearby, soundproofing walls against the highway, large meadows and other houses in the street ( zone). So ideal for families with children and animals. Neighbors are great and mostly families with children and / or dogs.

Should my mother die later we would inherit (sister and I). However, the question would be:

Is it worth to rent?

Or should I sell it?

If my sister wants to stay in H2 you would almost have to move the front door down to the garage and put up a wall or something to demarcate it.

If my sister wants both houses she can not live in both.

I do not actually want to move in, both professionally and domestically, this is not my plan, girlfriend is totally against it, because is quite rural and we prefer the city.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Co-signing as non-primary resident - effect on size of required downpayment & first time home buyer status?

Contemplating co-signing on a house with my mom and splitting the mortgage payment. I currently have a significantly higher income and much better credit than her. I'm looking at potential home costs and related downpayments but have difficulty using some of the online estimators. From my perspective, this would be somewhat of an investment purchase (I intend to stay in my current location in a different state and contribute to the mortgage), however, for my mom, this would be a primary residence. For purposes of the downpayment size and the type of mortgage arrangement, would it be an investment property or a primary residence? Many thanks for any help. submitted by /u/piercalicious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/km4hvl/cosigning_as_nonprimary_resident_effect_on_size/

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/
