Is Contingent to Sell a good Choice?

My husband and I are quickly growing out of our starter home. We have 2 young kids and we are trying to move. The market is insane. Some houses gone within a day or two. There are not many houses that fit our wants (3+ bedrooms, a yard, and 1.5 or + bathrooms). All of which I don’t think are unreasonable at a price point of $350,000 or less in rural PA.

Anyway, we haven’t sold our house. We are afraid it will go quickly and we will be homeless. We also can’t get anyone to accept offers at asking or above due to a contingency. Our relator friend mentioned contingent to sell. Our actual realtor told us absolutely no way because the seller might be out a few hundred dollars if we back out.

Everything I read online seems to go both ways. It’s okay or it’s a horrible idea. We chose to list our house this Friday. Is this something we should reconsider? Will it have a massive effect on the sale of our home?

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...
