Reminder: Redfin estimates are weird and stressful and honestly stupid. Don’t worry about them.

Just a new homeowner here in the last year.

Wanted to post and say that I spent a lot of time using sites like Zillow and Redfin trying to find the best home to buy in the Bay Area where I wanted to live.

Then I spent 6 months tracking my estimates on these sites, wondering if I made a bad decision, etc. I dunno. Usual new homeowner concern I guess.

I saw my Redfin estimate had gone down by around 100k in 6 months (from 1.25 to 1.15) and it was stressing me out.

I started looking at comps in the area and realized these estimates must be garbage. A nearby home just sold for 1.35M with 50 more square feet and looks just as updated.

In fact, the neighbor two doors down that’s house and lot is almost a replica of mine is valued at +100k... they’re 200 feet from me and on the same street.

Just felt I should post a reminder for new home owners and would-be investors that these estimates are completely darts on the wall. In the general vicinity.... but something tells me me something is crazy goofy in their system.

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...
