Realtor says appraisers are lowering sales prices - to sell or not to sell? (USA, OK)

I bought my first home in April of 2020. I wasn't planning on selling it, but I've had a few friends recommend I look into it because every house they try to buy (granted, in a different state) is getting outbid by $30k+ very quickly after listing.

I spoke to my realtor and she said people in my area are desperate for housing and are putting in offers $30-50K over asking. This is great for me. BUT, they also said that in 40% of cases, the buyers' appraisers are coming in and listing prices at or below asking price.

So my main question is: is it worth it to try to sell the house?

I'm a single guy with no emotional attachment to the place, and I can easily move back into an apartment or rental house. I figure I'll sell if I can make at minimum $25,000 after all fees. Is this realistic?

Finances: Not sure if it matters but I bought the house for $125k (not including VA fees) with a VA loan and currently owe ~$124,500 total.

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
