I hate my new build house and having an anxiety attack

I’m having anxiety, I doubt there’s much I can do at this point. I went to the new house site today and We are first time home buyers and close in 18 days, loan is locked in at 3.5% 15K down already in earnest money already. We live in Mn. We did a conventional loan, no special financing or anything. So without taking a financial loss, I think we are stuck and have to stay.

I hate it, it feels small for being a 4 bed, 1 full, 2 baths with just showers (2300 sq ft), and like we paid way too much (465K) it feels cheap and poorly built, I have disliked the builders through the process and maybe that’s why I am feeling this way. I’m scared we paid too much and that we are going to go completely underwater because the housing market and inflation. The yard will be unfinished through winter, so I feel like it’s just going to be an ugly mud pit.

Can someone talk me from the ledge here? Is it normal to have this kind of anxiety? Does it turn out to be okay once you move in? What if I still hate it, how long should you stay in a place before you resell it?

I feel so dumb and foolish. I wouldn’t be the least bit sad if a meteor fell from sky and landed directly on the house and wiped it off the planet.

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...
