Would the real estate agents ignore me if i am on a budget? (California)

I am planning to buy my first home, which will be my primary residence. I have saved up 20% down and other expenses. The problem is that i am on a budget. Primary reason is that i dont want to spend more that 30% of my monthly on mortgate+tax.

The place where i am looking to buy, it is very rare to get a home in the range that i am looking for. I will soon start the process of getting pre-approved etc.

But my questions is that will buyer's agents ignore me if they think that my budget is on the lower side and another question i had is that how common is it for agents to find a house before it goes for listing on Redfin or Zillow?

Does it even makes sense to start looking when i know that it is going to be a very long shot for me to get a house in this market?

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/
