Paying down credit card during underwriting?

Hello everyone,

So some quick numbers.

Credit card was 1500.00 balance when credit was pulled for pre approval 3 weeks ago.
Put an offer on a home and now I am in underwriting with a closing date of June 30th.

Since that pull I put 500.00 on that card for home inspection and 1200.00 for car insurance policy that is a package deal for my new home insurance.
As well as a 2500.00 payment for the airbnb we are currently staying in as we searched for a new home.
So now my credit card is a little over 5k.

I will be receiving a pension payout check around 15k this upcoming week.
Would it be ok to pay a big lump sum to bring that credit card back down under 2k?

I gave my mortgage lender a heads up on the airbnb charge. He said its not big deal and he doesn't plan to pull my credit again. He will just use the same one from 3 weeks ago. Just the usual don't open a new card or loan account.

I guess to simplify my question ..Is it ok to make a big payment to knock down your credit car balance as long as you have proof of funds where the money came from?

Thanks in advance

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/
