Selling my home in a hot market, but offers aren’t coming in like I expected.

Buyers out there, talk me off the cliff please. Tell me what’s going on on your side as a buyer.

Background: I’m selling my house due to a relocation w/ work to another state. Its a hot area (I’m told), with next to no other houses for sale. I priced it fair (I had to due to relocation requirements) and I’m not looking for crazy over asking offers.

Today was the first day its been listed “live” and we have a total of 62 showing scheduled over Sat, Sun and Monday with an offer deadline of Monday at 2pm. My realtor recommended doing this because of the hight amount of interest we’ve seen but I fear that this might have backfired.

Its the end of day 1 and there’s not been a lot of feedback and no offers. I’m super surprised by this.

I’m freaking out a little because Ive just left the house and moved to the place and I’m terrified that it wont sell now because I really expected at least one or two offers on Saturday. So buyers, tell me this: When you’ve looked at houses and there’s an offer deadline, do you wait a little while before submitting or do you still do it early? Do you look at that timeframe as more time for you to get your ducks in a row or?

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/
