Fair buyout price?

Sorry if this is mislabeled or not posted in the right sub. I need some advice on how to handle a buyout.

Me and a cousin purchased a foreclosure in 2018 for $380,000, we agreed that we would keep the home for 5 years. We also agreed that at the end of 5 years I could buy him out, or we would sell the house. We refinanced in 2020 so I put down $25,000 more than my cousin so that we could get rid of PMI. The house is now worth about $535,000. Assuming the value of the house is still 535k next year and the remaining mortgage balance is 347k, what would be a fair offer for a buyout currently?

Side notes and questions I have -

I know I am up $25,000 in equity vs my cousin.

I'm not worried about being screwed over, I just want to make sure everything is fair.

Should my cousin be responsible for part of closing costs even if we don't go though a realtor for me buying him out? I will have to pay some part of them when I sell the house.

Should I have a realtor make the offer?

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/
