How to sell this, need advice

I have owned this 95-year-old duplex for 20+ years. It’s in great shape and has good bones as you say. I’ve always taken good care of it and hired professionals when I needed. I retired this year and I would like to sell as I’m getting tired. What I’m finding are there is no comps that come out very high for duplexes in my area. I’ve consulted with about six real estate agents and been given prices all over the place as possible listing prices. But my question is if comps don’t support a listing price, then the listing price isn’t gonna really matter. Isn’t that right? Investors just seem to want killer deals. The first real estate agent I consulted would like her son and husband to purchase the property for an investment property. They made an offer and it’s a good offer but again if the appraisal doesn’t support that price, then it’s not gonna matter isn’t that right? They weren’t interested in any kind of appraisal gap thing. I had a feeling due to her expertise and the fact that her spouse has about eight rental properties, they already have a pretty good idea of what the house would appraise at although she said that’s not the case. I would like to sell the property but I would like to get a premium price that will reflect all the hard work I put in over 20+ years. Any advice for me?

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...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
