What should I do? (Sell house? Get a flex loan? Help!!)

Hello. So I’m not very smart with real estate and I’m in a predicament.

I bought a house/farm in Oklahoma for 300k. We have owned it for 3 years, no issues low morgage $1,300 a month including insurance. We owe 210k left on the loan. Anyways, my husband was sober for 9 years and relapsed with his new friends got himself in trouble and will be serving two years in prison. He’s always been the bread winner and I’ve always been the stay at home mom of 2 for 12 years. Now he’s leaving for prison and I’m left to figure it out. I did a forbearance and I’m on my 3rd and final month. What do I do next? I put my house up for sale, it’s worth 425k now and I owe 210k left. I figure that’s allot of equity and money to make on the house. And I do want to move as I HATE the location, want my kids out of the schools in this small town, and I would love to find something better and safer (although it’s 11 acres. We are on a highway close to the major highway) anyways…. It’s been on the market for 24 days and only one offer and it was a payment type of thing did not take it. My realtor said it was a weird offer. So what do I do about forbearance?? Will selling the house pay that back? Do I get a flex loan modification? And can I? If I don’t have income and only living off my husband’s unemployment and he’s going in a week. Also my credit went to hell after not paying and doing the forbearance. Help!!! What’s the best option here? Also if I do sell and have like 190k to put down, how will I get another loan on a house? Fix my credit and get a job? I should probably not even look now right? I’m always looking at homes to buy. Hoping someone buys and I can buy a new one. If I sell it should I rent? Until I fix my credit and get a job? Should I pay for a property in cash? With that money. Probably won’t be very nice but when he gets out he can remodel. Or should I save my house somehow with the loan modification? Or refinance but my credit score is like 540 right now 😩 should I keep my low mortgage and wait a couple years? Help!!!!!!

Thank you so much!

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...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
