We just closed today on our firsr house and everything went perfect

Title says it all. Want to share some good news in wave of horror stories ive read all month.

We somehow landed an amazing property for an amazing price. Every little amenity is brand new, every single detail just perfect. Not a single concerning thing came up in the inspection, just super minor stuff all less than $500 to address. We bought it for 172k, and our realtor said it could have easily gone for 250 if it was 30 minutes north of where we got it.

The low price comes from being extremely rural but that's exactly what we wanted. This came after searching for houses almost 100k more an hour north. By far the best property we viewed and the sellers were just great. Even through in some nice rugs and patio furniture!

We had some scares as the title company and appraisors took a while. We got the final approval and clear to close only 18 hour prior to closing. It all worked out thanks to the help of our awesome agent and LO. Never thought I'd be a home owner but here we are. Best of luck to anyone else buying in this wild market!

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/
