FINALLY an accepted offer! It can happen!

I just want to thank this sub for getting us through the past year and a half. I learned more than I ever thought I needed to know about real estate transactions, and it is a great resource.

We are buyers in a HCOL area (greater Boston) and have been looking for 1.5 years (with a VA loan!) for a home in an extremely hot market. We got an offer accepted on a beautiful colonial today for only slightly above asking after a tense negotiation. I just want to offer hope to anyone else who is still out there looking, it CAN happen for you. We refused to do anything with appraisal gaps, waiving appraisals, we didn’t even need to do 20% down. From what we can tell, there is a slight softening to the market right now. Take a chance on the properties that haven’t sold after the first week, that is what ultimately paid off for us after 10 rejections. Good luck out there!!!

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...
