Requesting Advice - FL Home

Good Morning All,

I know you may think - not another should I sell post. But I really need advice as I am going through a divorce that is rather contentious (not my choice).

We purchased our home in FL last July with a VA rate at 2.8%. I did not want the home but for reasons I will leave out, we bought the home anyways. My spouse decided to divorce me 2.5 months ago so we are just starting the process and I wanted to list the house asap. Well, my spouse decided they would like to drag their feet on signing the listing paperwork and are coming up with every excuse possible, including my listing price being too low. I priced the house aggressively to get it sold but not to take a loss. With them dragging their feet now for over a month, I am growing increasingly concerned that the house will go from minimal profit to a loss especially with rates going up again in Nov.

I have no interest in being a landlord but is it worth it to try and find a renter to ride out whatever is going on in the market or should I continue to try to sell, if even for a small loss? I was going to market the home as assumable in hopes of getting a slightly higher price but don't want that amount up for grabs in my divorce seeing as it would lock up my VA loan unless another veteran bought it.

Any thoughts or advice is appreciated.

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...
