Found the best house... and lost it.

Perfect build, everything that I wanted. Land.. white house with black gutters, new build... close to everything. Had public water, septic with all gravity flow, all electric.. Man... this is a TOUGH market.

So the house was listed at 310k for 1500 sq ft, 3 bed 2 bath. The builder was the selling agent, which I found interesting, but my agent didn’t think it was worth that much so we went in at 290k, 70 down, I pay closing. He was supposed to get back with me bc she made it seem like I was willing to go that 310k, but make it seem like she was pushing the 290k.... that back fired. My agent is super awesome and friendly so I know she handled it fine.

I think I’m just posting this to let it out bc I was hoping for this one. I know it’s stupid and I shouldn’t get too wrapped up in one house... but damn what am I supposed to do? Settle for a shit house? Everyone is hopping on these so fast and always seem to have such a high offer.

I don’t have too much time to find a house either... maybe a couple more months or so and I will need to rent. Pretty discouraged and just hoping for encouragement or tips or something.

I’m looking at a house tomorrow that’s about 10 more min from everything, built in 2000 but priced a little cheaper. It’ll take about 20 min to get to Kroger... kinda sucks. I might be settling idk. THIS IS A STRUGGLE. I feel like I just lost the house of my dreams... I know that sounds crazy but it really was everything I wanted.

Thanks for reading if you got this far

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 ...
