Is now a good time to sell my townhouse?

I bought a middle unit townhouse for $240K in February 2023. I was fresh off a divorce and this was the third dumb real estate mistake I made in the aftermath. (The first was refinancing the marital single-family home instead of assuming the low-rate mortgage from my ex. The second was selling that home to my realtor at a reduced price in the middle of winter because I couldn't wait until spring to unload it.) The townhouse is in a good neighborhood and I got it at what felt like a decent price, but I have sunk $15K into new AC, furnace, water heater, storm door, and washer/dryer. Now, I deeply regret selling the marital home. I miss having a yard and natural light and privacy. I can't afford a single-family home in my current suburb anymore with prices and interest rates soaring. I am looking at smaller towns just to get into a single-family home under $300K. My realtor says I should wait for spring to list. I don't want to make yet another real estate mistake but I'm so antsy to get out of here.

TL;DR I suck at real estate. Is it dumb to list a townhouse now or should I wait until spring?

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...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
