Just listed our house today [CA]

Feeling very excited but also nervous. We have never sold a house before but we have a great agent who was actually my maid of honor so we have 100% trust in her.

We were back and forth on the listing price, three weeks ago we thought $600k, then last week we decided on $610K based off of comps, then today we saw that the same exact model of our house was being listed for $630K. Theirs has a third car garage and their lot is 500SF bigger than ours, but the finishes are not as nice as ours, the house is 3 years older than ours, and the neighborhood isn’t quite as nice as ours so we decided to come in $15K lower than them for a listing price of $615K. I’m feeling pretty confident about where we sit price wise, but I’m sure I’ll be anxious tomorrow if my agents phone isn’t ringing off the hooks(we have a very aesthetically pleasing house) as we’re expecting a lot of lookers. We’re in a town of 75,000 people an hour east of the east bay and there are only 3 houses for sale in that price range including ours so we’re hoping it’s busy.

With all that being said IF we do get multiple offers how do we choose, our agent has briefly talked about it with us as we have not gotten to that point yet, but I honestly just want to go with whoever offers is the most money. Reading through this sub I see there are many other factors to include in this decision. What would be a main factor that could deter us from choosing the person with the highest offer?

Also, if we do two offers for the same amount can the bid it up and submit a higher offer, or do we just choose between the two?

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...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

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/
