Credit for HVAC after inspection

The inspector noted that our HVAC and furnace are both past the expected end of life. A lot of items were what 2 different inspectors called "Mickymoused" and the seller lied about the square footage during the open house we went to which we only found when we were shopping for home insurance and Geico pulled up the square footage from a record or from the assessor or something. The lie about the square footage not including the unpermitted garage was what made us accept the counteroffer from them. We expect a lot of credit to fix non-cosmetic issues, but would the HVAC and furnace be a valid thing to ask for credit as well? I'm almost at the point of walking out of this deal due to the amount of neglect of the property and the lie from the seller/agent. It's technically not broken yet but the inspector said the owner should begin budgeting for a new system right away.

Prices on a lot of homes are falling at the moment and I have no doubt if this home goes back on the market and another buyer finds out the listing lies about the square footage, the same issue would arise. Not to mention rates are going up daily.

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/
