Does anyone track the “one that got away” for homes you lost out on?

We’d been through the roller coaster of trying to buy a home in 2021, putting in numerous lost offers. We finally found a home in early 2022 and I’m really happy with the house. But I still have a morbid curiosity about all the ones where we put in an offer and lost.

One home was grossly overbid, they wound up selling within 3 months of their closing and taking a $40k loss (wonder the story there)? Another home was immediately put on the market (same pictures and all) for $250k more than it was sold for. A few are now rentals and Air BB (which really irritates me). Another home I though was way over priced is valued at $150k more than selling price with neighborhood homes flying off the shelves (apparently I was wrong on that one). One home was furnished and I loved the furniture/decor as much as the house, and I saw the furniture all listed on Facebook Marketplace.

Has anyone else ever followed up on homes the lost? Or am I just overly curious?

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/
