Real Estate Advice needed

So here’s the deal, I bought my home in 2019 in North Los Angeles County. Purchased for $542k. Remaining balance is $487k. Fast forward to today 2024 October, I’m starting to outgrow the 3/3 two story sub 2k sq ft home. Additionally (more the reason for selling) is that 2 miles from where I live there is a landfill that’s emitting potentially unsafe chemicals into the air, creating a panic from residents, EPA is involved, etc. landfill issue may be a 10 yr deal, maybe getting cancer within those years.

So reason for selling and or renting: -landfill -expecting my 5th kid

Reservations are: -My mortgage with impounded taxes/insurance is $3200 a month. Mortgage alone being about $2200 It’s a 2.25% FHA loan.

The home could potentially sell for $700-750k -remaining balance is 487k

I have a second mortgage that I bought a truck/paid off debt with (yea im dumb) hopefully wiser now. That totals $88k.

SO,

My wife and I are worried about the chemical exposure to our family. But the market is God awful and I don’t know what to do. Getting into something similar in price plus an extra bedroom is over 6k a month. We are both income earners at about 290-300k/year. Things are a stretch despite our income.

What would you do?

1.)Rent it for less than $1000k cash flow a month (doesn’t seem worth it in the short term). And rent elsewhere?

2.) sell, bite bullet and buy?

3.) any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

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/
