Price low or price it right?

My house is going on the market in a few days. I think it is worth $450K+, I hope I get $465k. My realtor wants to list it for $420k and start a bidding war. 4 days to see it and best and final offers in 1 day after last viewing.
The comps are questionable. I think pricing it too low discourages people from putting offers in. I know I didn't even look at houses that were priced too low since I didn't want to deal with a bidding war. So should I price it for what I think it is worth or price it low? I would not be happy selling it at $420k.

My house. Built in 1950. 3 bed, 2.5 bath. 2300 SF. Updated kitchen 2 years ago. Well maintained, amazing yard and really shows nice.

Comp 1: 30 days ago. About 5 houses down from me. Same bed/bath. 900 SF less. Never updated since the 50s except the kitchen. I spoke with the buyer and he said it needed to be gutted. Listed for $350 and sold for $350. Many above asking price offers but his was cash and they required 100k down to take his offer.

Comp 2: Just sold a few days ago. 3 houses down from me. This was a lipstick on a pig situation. 1950s house, same Bed/bath amount. 600 less SF. Listed for $350. It had 92 viewings in 4 days, 12 offers. Under contract for $380.

Comp 3: 90 days ago. Across the street. 1950 house. 4 bed, 3.5 bath. 1200 SF larger. Decent condition. Listed for $475k and sold for $525k. Cash deal, no contingencies.

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/
