Buyers agent trying to use 2+ year old comps to lowball me.

I’m selling my house in a pretty new neighborhood, all houses are about 2-4 years old and in great condition. Everything that has sold within the past 2 months and even going back to January and February has sold for at least 40k above the original new construction purchase price. As such, there are plenty of comps readily available from just these past 2 months to get a correct and fair price for the house.

The buyers agent is instead pulling some of the original comps from original owners buying straight from the builder towards the completion of the total neighborhood project, and then added in a recent one that his client bought for an absolute ridiculous discount because the family needed to leave the state for work and were desperate.

My agent is laying down the hammer on this guy but what self respecting agent would pull 2+ year old comps when you have all the recent sales numbers to justify an actual offer.

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/
