Would you sell your home given these details...

Disclaimer; priviliged post. My husband and I own a home in a HCOL area and we have just signed an agreement with a realtor to sell our home. I'm afraid we might regret it if we sell it?

Here are the details: - home purchased for $1,050,000 - my parents were going to build an ADU on the property (2 acres) so they put down $400k cash and my husband and I took on the mortgage payment on a $650k mortgage - this $400k was NOT a gift to us. - my parents backed out and so we owe them $410k (they made improvements to the land prior to backing out). - we have paid them back $276k cash so far so we have a balance of $134k remaining owed to them - our mortgage rate is 2.87%

We have made significant improvements to both the land and house and are going to list the house at $2M

  • IF the house sells for $2M and after our % that the realtor(s) receive, minus the $134k and paying off the remainder of our mortgage we have the potential to come out with 1.2M

Given mortgage rates ATM and the HCOL area we're in I'm looking at homes that would fit our needs and my mind is 🥴 at what our monthly mortgage would be. We'd go from paying about $4k/mo on our mortgage (taxes, insurance, premium) to about $8-10k/mo. And quite honestly, a lot of the houses that are available are fixer-uppers and STILL, our mortgage would be astronomical.

Are we making a mistake by listing/selling our home? We are tied to the area because of family and our jobs so leaving the area isn't an option.

Thanks for any input!

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/
