Interested in buying 150K home in Las Vegas, NV but unsure. Advice would be appreciated.

Hi, I currently live in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with my mom and brother. The house down the street just went on sale about 1 week ago or so for ~150K $ and is a 2 bed 2 bath home. The estimated monthly payment is said to be ~575$, which is on par with what we pay rent for now. Even though the outside is a bit so-so, the inside of the home looks remodeled and its a lot of open land. We think it would be worth it to give it a shot, but unsure what else we need to think about... this would be the first time I would be owning a home. And it wouldn’t be a “forever” home... but at least we would be paying towards owning something. Would this be stupid? I’m soon to have a fixed income starting January, which is also a plus. Any sort of advice would help. Just wanted second opinions. Thank you.

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...

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...
