Is it appropriate to ask these questions about a home you're under contract for?

First time buyer here and we finally went under contract today for an amazing home! 🙏 We are out of state so we have only seen it virtually, but I plan on flying there to see it in person before due diligence is over.

Now that we are under contract, I feel more comfortable asking these questions that are kind of.. moot points, if you will? Meaning, the answers to these questions wouldn't have affected our offer or change our desire to get the house.. but answers that I'd like to know. However I'm not sure if these are normal questions to ask or simply unnecessary/annoying. Any thoughts?

  • Status on HVAC, water heater?
  • When was the roof installed?
  • Are windows original or updated?
  • How old is the carpet?
  • Is plumbing, electrical, all original?
  • What type of trees are in the backyard?
  • When was the sliding back door installed?
  • How old are the appliances? (Kitchen appliances + washer dryer)
  • Do you remember what the style of tile flooring is called? (In case we want to keep the flooring going to the basement)

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...
