First-Time Buyer Conditionally Approved-What next?

Hello! I apologize if this is duplicate or a stupid question, but being my first home, I'm admittedly nervous about the process.

I have received a conditional approval on a home loan through an online lender. They have a target closing date set for August 21. The conditions were relatively simple and I have fulfilled them; they simply needed to verify a couple employment details and made me obtain insurance. I know not to run up my credit cards or make large purchases, and I've already renewed my employment contract for the next school year (I'm a high school civics teacher). My credit score is in the mid 700's and hasn't fluctuated aside from the hard pull. Can anything really go wrong at this point? I've heard horror stories of banks denying mortgages on closing day. I'm probably just paranoid...LOL! Thanks for your 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...

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/
