Cold Market With the Holiday?

Just wondering from some agents. With the Fourth of July being Saturday, would the market cool a bit from the weekend before until after the holiday because of the short week? I’m asking because we are listing in a hot market. DOM has been about 6 days before an acceptance of an offer. We listed on Wednesday and have had one showing and an open house on Saturday with a single visitor. Would the fact that someone could go away on vacation from this past Friday until next Monday on four days vacation cool the market a bit? Should we hang onto our price for a week after the holiday to see what happens? Our realtor is pushing for a $10,000 price reduction already, which puts us at the neighbors price they just sold at. Their finished footage is 350 feet more, but we have an 800 sq foot basement that’s unfinished giving us 500 sq foot more total space. Another in the neighborhood accepted an offer $80,000 over our list for 100 sq ft more finished with an unfinished basement. The higher sale is our same home with 100 sq ft above grade increase and maybe 200 sq ft total space additional. Thanks!

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/
