How'd we do? Raleigh 3 bed / 2 bath 407K - 0.69 acres of land

Hey guys! I've lived in Raleigh for about 2 years and my mother and I have just signed the contract to purchase a home in Raleigh at 407K. The house was in the 370-390 range for asking(i'm masking this for anonyminity) but my mother fell in love with it, there with multiple other offers, so we went in aggressively + wrote the sappy letter + did the due diligence fee (NC specific thing if you're unsure of what this is).

The house is kind of small - 1485 square feet, but has a couple things that are nice. It has a nice pool, a decently large outside deck, solar power, and a tesla power battery bank. It has 0.69 acres of land and no HOA so we're going to put a fence around the back of the property to make it more livable and safe for our dog. The neighorhood is very calm and quiet, it is relatively close to the highway to get to downtown Raleigh but doesn't have sound of traffic due to being on a long cul de sac type road and further embedded in it. The house has 3 beds 2 bathrooms.. The inside is in good condition but the kitchen is a little small. I thought about posting the link to Zillow but I don't want to be doxxed or be dangerous - but maybe that's me overthinking it.

I wanted some outside POVs on the overall house. I'm thinking because of the land - 0.69 acres, and Raleigh behind a very hot market and no HOA, that this was a really solid investment and it is likely to further go up in value and certainly retain value.

Thoughts?

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...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

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/
