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...

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/
