I've had it with my neighbor! In NY. selling costs and purchasing costs approximately?

Life is too short. I'm tired of the insurance claims and legally fighting neighbor, which is a store.

Seriously thinking of selling my home that I've lived in all my life. The original plan was stay in NY until retirement which is less than 7 years away, and move south. The insanity I have been dealing with as of late, just isn't worth it anymore. Defeated.

I'm focusing strictly on the financials, to see how we can do this.

Our house should sell for $225k. Maybe a little more. In NY how much will we clear?

And then the part we dread, buying. From a quick search, I'm guessing that we will be looking at least $300K for similar quality home to what we have, probably a little smaller in a different neighborhood. Finding something looks to be impossible. How much does it cost to buy a $300k house, assuming we can find one in in market?

Where we are right now.... $45k left on our home equity line which has extremely low rate. Taxes are about $4500/yr. So essentially our current housing cost are $1000/month. Some month are higher when I plunk down more to payoff home eq.

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/
