Do you see any red flags that I should not make an offer?

House info: Hot market Northern California bay area/ nice & safe neighborhood / great school district 8,9,9/ 70 years old single house.

1) Hall bath: floor makes noise at various areas and are loose.
2) Master bath: floor has cracks, and separations. Tiled shower enclosure walls have separations at various areas. Shower drain is rusted
3) Toilet was not flushing properly and occasionally backing up-inspection found the sewer line was impacted by roots and needed replacement =>Entire sewer line from house to street was replaced in 2017 due to tree root intrusions. No sewer issue since the replacement.
4) Water pipes were replaced with copper in 2015 as recommendation although there was no issue But contractor did not repair access holes in backs of cabinets/walls in two bathrooms under sink, behind master bathroom toilet and kitchen under sink
5) rodents in crawlspace/attic/kitchen areas noted, contracted with pest control on an as needed basis. Rat Patrol-we have one year unlimited service, but are not sure if contract is transferable.
6) Attic and crawlspace had rodent feces/damage => Attic was cleaned, sealed, all insulation removed and replaced 2023 including replacing all attic insulation
7) Front area parallel to street accumulates water during rain due to limited street drainage on this side of street
8) Not sure if all outlets are grounded-original handyman replaced most of the outlets with 3 prong, but not sure if they grounded them/ground wire exists. Inspector did not find any errors in latest inspection
9) Floor near near the windows have patches and sanded areas due to pervious termite repair.
10) Building Inspection. Termite Inspection, Chimney Inspection, Rodent Inspection, Rodent Extermination, Cleaning and Attic Insulation replacement, Roof Inspection all conducted 2023

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/
