Wife’s Job Change

My wife and I were pre-approved for a 415k loan. I make around 105k and my wife 25k.

We have an accepted offer on a house now and going through the loan process and verification. My wife’s part time teaching contract is up in just a month or two at this point and we haven’t told them yet, but we’re thinking at this point we should probably let them know our plans (it’s in writing with her job now, it wasn’t initially). She doesn’t have a new contract lined up. She might just substitute teach and/or stay at home mom for awhile. We’re thinking with just my income and our total assets ($200-300kish) that we’ll probably be ok, but not sure if it’s going to upset the lender as we’ve already gone through some of the processes and I know big changes like this are a no no. Are lenders more or less sensitive to something like this with this hot market right now? We were approved for just 5% down and about $2500 a month. I’m thinking worst case they’ll ask for more down? Or maybe they’ll want it contingent on the sale of our current home? We have about $80k equity in the current home and looking to list it ASAP, but making the deal contingent in this market will definitely make our deal fall through. There were multiple offers on the house, we bid $25k over asking.

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/
