Tips to strengthen our offers?

We are FTHB and trying to purchase in the $250-$275 list price range in MN. Our agent says this is the most competitive price range in our market. We are preapproved for a conventional loan at 5% down well beyond this price range. We have enough liquidity to put down 10% + our closing costs.

We've lost 3 multiple-offer scenarios so far (no seller costs or home warranty in any offer):

  1. Offered 6% over list, 10 day inspection, 10% down, appraisal contingency. Seller cited not liking appraisal contingency.
  2. Offered 6% over list, 7 day inspection, 10% down, appraisal contingency. No response from seller or their agent at all.
  3. Offered 8% over list, 7 day inspection, 10% down, appraisal contingency only if it appraised below 98% of our offer price. Seller cited preferring a higher down-payment offer.

All these offers have been made the day of our showing, which has been 0 -- 2 days after the house entered the market.

Any ideas on how to strengthen our offers? Anything our agent or lender could present differently that might help?

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...
