Seller pushing back decision making on offer

We put an offer in on a condo at asking price the day after it was listed. They were making a decision the next day. We were working on getting our preapproval, but delayed because our loan officer was out of the office for two days.

The day of deciding on an offer, the seller’s real estate agent reached out to ours and really wanted a copy of our preapproval. That evening, they decided to extend their 5pm deadline to that evening, and then later on to the next day. We offered to waive our appraisal contingency but our offer remained the same.

I assume they’re waiting to see if they receive another offer today, but I’m not sure. Their condo is outdated but in a good location and seemingly safer than the others we’ve toured. I am willing to offer more, but we will have to go in and spend around $20,000 to update the place.

Should we offer more? Wait it out? This seems like our best option for a condo right now, but I think the seller may not have many other offers. I would just appreciate some advice.

Thanks!

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...
