I am having trouble selling my house in a hot marker

My wife and I are in what is a hot market for basically all the houses. Have a bad house? Throw it up and get offers same day. Well, except for when it comes to our house.

We did get an offer day 1 by a couple that offered before seeing it. The realtor suggested they come see it first, they did and then rescinded the offer with the excuse of "something came up".

We have solar panels, normally this is a big positive except they're basically being included in the house.

There is a big metal telephone pole near the back of our house, apparently plenty of people have said it's an issue for them. Nothing I can do there but reduce the price if needed, and maybe thats just needed?

Here are the most obvious issues:

We have 2 dogs and we haven't moved out, so there is a dog smell in the house.

We are partly moved out, most of the house is bare and clean but the garage and main bedroom closet are cluttered.

We are moving out of the house completely in 3 days so it will be totally empty once we leave.

One of the drawers is missing a handle knob in the kitchen , no one has said anything but I wonder if this is an issue. I'd have to replace all of the knobs though, which is potentially worth it if that's what's causing people to say no.

The bathroom drawers don't have any handles but also have no holes in them. The cabinets were new when we got them and I never bothered to drill them and put knobs on.

Could knobs make a difference? Should I take a moment and drill them and put knobs in?

We have pendant lights and a chandelier. They're a bit rustic with rope and Edison lights. I would imagine they're a bit of a specific flavor that might not stand out as a positive. Should I replace them or just take them down?

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...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
