1st Time Home Sellers

We are in the central Fl market and the housing market has cooled significantly. We missed our hottest window to sell last summer due to a tenant in the home and she finally left March 1st. As soon as she left we. We listed our house for sale Feb 1st for $389,000. We bought in 2020 for $274,000 with 3% interest. We are now out of state and want to invest in property in our area and don’t plan to move back to FL. We are currently renting ourselves as we couldn’t afford to buy and could not sell our home at the time of our move due to the tenant we just placed . So it’s going on 60 days that our home has now been on the market in April. But we have received 2 offers in that time. Our first offer was for $370k after 30 days of sitting. We were not too excited and countered at 380k but the buyers wouldn’t budge and then changed their minds. So the. We sat for another 2-3 weeks and got another offer now only for 360k all cash buyer- we also countered at $375- buyer wouldn’t budge. She is still interested in buying and our agent told us the market isn’t getting any better. We are desperate to sell at this point and don’t want the headache of out of state tenants but I’m struggling to be happy with the 80k equity when we could’ve gotten 100+k just a few months ago. In this buyers market should we just hang on to the home and try again next year? I’m so jealous of the bidding wars everyone is still mentioning as our market is extremely slow and everyone has been selling for under asking with minimal buyers making offers.

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/
