Extreme Buyer’s Remorse

I bought a house recently and haven’t even made my first payment yet.. as excited I was to buy the house it made a complete 180. I am 24 years old and a veteran so I used my VA home loan to purchase a house. My house is 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms and I bought it because it was well within my pre approved range. I love everything about the house but my biggest mistake was rushing in to it. I have come into a realization that it has been a big mistake. Every day I’m depressed. The car ride to work and from work almost equates to 2 hours. I used to love going to the gym but gyms are now 20+ min commute and it’s just a big inconvenience to my day and my girlfriend’s as much as I love the idea of being a homeowner I don’t think I can live here anymore and it’s driving me insane, anyone have tips on what I should do? Should I have a realtor list it now and expect to have it sold within 2-4 months ? What kind of expenses will I have ? I’m so lost and I am definitely not afraid to admit that I’ve made a foolish decision. The house was 340k and I put 0 down payment, how can I go about selling the house ? Even if I take a loss. I don’t think staying in the house is an option for me because I’m truly unhappy.

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...
