Dumb ?- about pricing

I'm in Abilene TX & have never bought a home in my life so I will admit, I'm no expert. We went and saw a house tonight that was put on the market in Nov. 2018 for 210k. The house was built in 2016. Owners didn't note any repairs or anything done to the house but have listed it at 224k which, to me, feels a bit high. This is 129.00/ square foot and most places near there are selling for around 130.00/sq ft for but they're brand new builds. We asked realtor about pricing and she said that the listing realtor looks at all of that before they make the price and that it seems pretty comparable to new builds on the market.

I understand her logic but I feel like it's kind of a cop out. It's not a new build. It's not in terrible condition by any means but the house has been lived in and has some wear and tear (plus a septic that'll likely need cleaned out). She didn't deter us from putting in an offer, or even negotiating, but I just want to be sure we aren't being delusional in our thinking. I know y'all can't tell us exactly what our market is doing but I was hoping you might be able to tell me if a 4 year home should be valued as a brand new build. Is there something I'm missing?

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
