Have you ever sold a primary residence within a year of purchasing for non-moving out of town reasons?

My SO and I purchased a condo in a building last year and we have just not enjoyed it like we expected. It's mostly "if we had known..." type reasons. Aka the walls are paper thin. Living in a downtown previously I had no expectation of quiet, but we can hear our neighbor through the walls when they talk in normal conversation, not even yelling. No solutions we have tried (that we are allowed to do) have helped. A few other things have made us think we shouldn't have purchased. I'm at peace with losing a little bit on the sell (the value has probably increased a little bit) and taking my lumps and just living in an apartment until we are ready for a SFH, but I don't want to make an extremely stupid decision. We would just go back to the same apartment we were in previously that we loved. We thought the condo was going to basically be the apartment we loved that we now owned and could live in for the next 5 years. It’s one of those things that I feel like the pros out way the cons if I try to peer into the future over the next period of our life.

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/
