(MA) I made my first offer on a house!

Found myself a house that's a little bit of a project, but it has a lot of potential. It was lstied for 265 but I offered 272 the 2nd day it was on the market. There's an open house for it today but I already saw it with my realtor.

She said it will probably get bid into the low 3's but I added to my offer saying I could close within 30 days and that I would forgo the home inspection. My dad is a home inspector and my friend works construction, both of them looked at the house with me and confirmed it needs work but there's nothing major so that's the only reason I feel comfortable forgoing the inspection.

Anyway, i'm excited and nervous, I don't expect the offer to be accepted but if it is then i'm going to be a homeowner and I couldn't be more excited!

The market is crazy right now and I just feel happy seeing that a house that I actually like has fallen into my price range, and even if I get bid out I don't care it's been a great experience and i'll be ready for the next one!

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/
