Help me choose!

Hi all. I am purchasing a vacant lot to build my dream home but I have a choice between two.

  1. 8,600 sqft, in an exclusive area near the beach, 5 minutes walk. All infrastructure already in place (water, electricity, underground), land is already cleared and well manicured. Problem is they have many restrictive covenants that will make us have to adjust a lot of our plans, including home size, type of walls, height of building, how the yard should look, no guest house for my mother in law, etc. Sale price- $100,000

  2. 10,600 sqft, 15 minutes walk away from the beach, area is okay. Land in uncleared, can’t even walk through it a sit is really dense, no infrastructure (we have to request poles for electricity, etc), no road access, less rules, sale price is $95,000

They’re both in the same neighborhood, it’s just that option 1 is in a cul-de-sac closer to the beach. None have a beach view though.

I love both, but I do think that option 1, being so upscale is a once in a lifetime opportunity. But option 2 seems like the obvious choice because it will allow me to build how I want without having to constantly check on the rules.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. This is in the Caribbean.

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/
