How would a war affect home inspectors in the US? TLDR @ end

I really don’t know if this is a dumb question or not, but I’m just getting into the world of home inspections/real estate and don’t know how to accurately figure out the answer to this. (Trying to decide if pursuing a career as an inspector is worth it during the current state of the world and country)

I know that the housing market would obviously be affected since people will likely be evacuating conflict zones and seek refuge in other areas of the country. There’s also people leaving the country as a whole, rentals, etc. Conflict zone home inspectors would I guess be the first to fall off, but what about the ones in safe zones?

I don’t think house hunters would care much about the condition of a home they buy as long as they are safe, but I could be wrong, and the majority could still be trying to make as many financially smart decisions as they possibly could. There could also be other factors that I am not taking into consideration that could actually be beneficial for home inspectors. Thoughts?

TLDR: How would a war affect home inspectors in the US? Specifically the ones in safe areas AWAY from conflict zones.

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/
