Diamond in the rough. Price history

My wife and I found our first home we are interested in purchasing. Owners bought it in December 2020 and put it for sale in June 2022. Buyer selling since they got a relocation to a Sunny state. Supposedly they rented it out for a while. 1) They did some remodeling, but it was weird that they did not get the molding (floor-wall wood) done. The areas they have it done looks like basic MHD wood painted white. 2) missing room doors & frames almost everywhere. Even some closets don’t have them. 3) the pricing history changes are worrisome over the past years. 400 down to 350. The last two deals fell through due to finance issues supposedly. 3a) Doesn’t look like the home appreciated at all. Similar houses in area are 100k+ more. It is a double lot with a English basement. The ground is very hilly, if that makes sense, as it dips into the empty lot. Grass and trees have not been cut for a while. 4) it had a basement flooding and you can see it in the listing of the drywall being cut up. We are worried that the mold will come back. 5) we made an lower offer and it appears they are eager to sell it, closing in 30 days. Can someone check out the history of this home??? It’s 5-7-8 Shepard lane Geneva illinois.

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...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

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/
