Offer accepted...27k over list! Wisconsin. Waiting appraisal

We finally got an accepted offer on a house! We previously put in 2 offers on other houses (10k and 12k) over, but those were rejected.

This house was listed at 195k. Our initial offer was 200k with an escalation clause of 1k up to 218k. We would cover an appraisal gap of 5k and cover any inspection repairs under 2k.

After our realtor spoke with the selling agent, she said they had multiple offers already and suggested we waive inspection contingency and start at a higher offer.

So we ended up changing our offer ultimately to start at 215k and escalate by 1k up to 222k. Appraisal gap we'd cover was raised to 10k, and we'd cover inspection repairs under 5k.

I feel like a sucker now for paying 27k over on the house! :/ The house ended up having more than 20 offers. The competing offer which activated our escalation clause was an offer for 227k that covered appraisal gap of 5k and waived inspection contingency.

Now just hoping the appraisal comes out ok! If appraisal was to only come in at 200k, would we only have to pay 210k, or does renegotiation happen at that point?

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/
