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...

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...
