Ugh… naturally the day after the inspection period ended, my wife getting cold feet.

We bought a nice house in an area that we don’t necessarily love but that’s near my wife’s family and down the street from her sister and niece. Bought at 390k but this house would be 600k easy in the area we love 25 minutes away. Earnest money deposit was 4 grand and I know now at this point if we decide to back out (my wife is now adamant she doesn’t want to live there) we will lose that 4k unless by some miracle the appraisal comes in really low and the deal dies because of poor LTV.

Just pissed and venting that my wife is putting me in this impossible position. We have two small boys and are planning to have more. I thought we were on the same page that we would live close to “help”/family while our children were little so they could be close to grandparents and cousins and if we wanted to move later we would but…. Here we are, half in-half out

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/
