Selling house as-is, but in a very competitive market

I’m in NJ, in a suburban commuter town (train to NYC is about 1 hour)l The houses around me (and in general the northern part of the state) have been selling over asking. There also have been several homes torn down and built with larger ones lately. I purchased the home about 10 years ago, but have not been able to keep up with the maintenance (job loss+crippling depression). I was cold-called by a realtor whose clients lost a bid on a house around the corner from me. I spoke with her and explained the situation and gave her a basic rundown of some of the issues with the house. She will coming for a tour in 2 weeks. Does anyone have some tips or red-flags that I should be aware of? This is my first house and I’m not really sure what to do next. The issues range from cosmetic (paint and drywall patches, ugly old wall to wall carpet in bedrooms, to major-definitely needs new roof). I want out, but I don’t want to get screwed over in the process. I can do minor repairs, but can’t afford anything major (the estimates for the roof were from $5500-$7500). Any tips or things to look out for would be appreciated.

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/
