Buying a house in a street with construction

Hello - We're considering buying a house on a street where we expect 6 new houses to be built over the next 2-3 years. Each of the house will be at least 200 ft from the house that we're considering. The construction will be one property at a time, and not all at once. Is it a bad idea to purchase given the noise and the dust from the new construction? How big a deal do you think it would be? I've never lived next to construction site to gage how bad it is going to be. For additional context, I am located in Pacific Northwest but the area does not have a lot of tall trees to insulate from the sound.

Also, is there a way for me to check what the hours of construction would be? Not sure if each city has certain hours for construction activity (E.g. 8 AM to 5 PM, and only on weekdays).

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/
