I hate the house I just bought

Well I’ve made a HUGE mistake. I found out I was pregnant with baby #2 and we rushed to find a new home to accommodate our growing family. Due to the limited market this fall we settled on a home that was actually 50k under what we were going to pay but it needs a little work, which we knew.

Well, we put in an offer and I immediately began regretting the decision. I hate the super steep driveway, the neighborhood and now everything seems to be replaced...we already replaced the stove, dishwasher and now we have new windows coming for downstairs. I hate the outside of the house, the lay out, the small bedrooms, etc. I told my husband what I was thinking during the buying process when we were in due diligence and I even wanted to back out a week before and he told me a was being crazy or hormonal.

This house was not the house I wanted or envisioned being our 2nd home but we were going to have a slightly lower mortgage and we took out money to pay off all our credit card debt. Financially is was a great move however I should known myself better and we should have spent more to get what I really wanted in a home that would have lasted 10+ years.

Now I am stuck. Being pregnant, working from home and covid having me stuck at home more... I can’t help but manifest on it every freaking day for the last 4 months of being here. It’s weighing on my marriage as well because I can’t help but mention to my husband how much this house sucks. I wish he would have listened to me or I would have listened to myself more but now I am literally counting down to when we can move again which I am hoping is the end of the year but my husband is telling me we need to wait 2-3 years.

Has anyone else experienced this? What is the fastest you can sell without a huge loss? How can I make it better without pouring more money into? I am almost on the verge of tears because of this house which could also be because I am 7 months preggo...any advice is welcome.

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
