How much over asking should you go? MLPS

Hey everyone,

I’m sure this gets asked a billion times but I need to be the billion plus one because I have no one else to ask.

I live in the twin cities area (MN) and it seems like a really hot market out here. I recently walked through a house that, within my means, was beautiful. It is a ranch/rambler style home 1800 sq ft 4 bed, 2 bath built in the 50s with an updated kitchen, 2 updated full bathrooms, fully finished basement, dining room and large fenced backyard. This house is move in ready with no needed changes.

I’m trying to shrug off the hype of this house and come back to reality, the house is listed at 325k which my realtor said is to start a bidding war. They said to be above the rest ask 350k.

Is 25k asking price reasonable? I tried looking at comps but in my general area there really aren’t houses as updated and nice as it. The ones that are a little close go for 300-315k but they have a lot of work needed such as siding unfinished basement, roof etc.

Is 25k above asking normal?

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/
