How much should we reduce our home by? 10 showings, no offers, on market for a week

We already purchased another home and we are motivated to sell our old place which is now sitting empty. We listed at 599k, based on comps from our realtor over the past year (5 bed, 3 bath, 3 acres and move in ready). The market is definitely cooling in our area, but we still had some interested buyers. Offers were due last night. Two agents were pretty sure their buyers would be writing offers, but we didn’t get any, so our realtor was going to follow up with them too. The main negative feedback we got was- 1) buyers didn’t like proximity of shared dirt driveway to the house (which we anticipated, and there’s a legal option recorded which allows buyers to unilaterally move the driveway if they wish) 2) no cable internet (nothing we can do about that) and 3) price was too high. There was a lot of positive feedback about the house itself, with all the agents saying it showed really well. We are thinking about dropping it to 565k, but don’t really have a rationale for picking that price, besides the fact that we want to go low enough to show we are motivated to sell, without looking desperate. Suggestions?

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/
