Foundation issue advice?

Howdy,

First time home owner. I moved a box the previous home owner had left in our basement. Behind it is a scary issue.

The front of the house in in a hill. The hill tapers down and the back of the house foundation is completely exposed. There is a door on the left of the back if your standing in the back yard and looking at the house. The block to the right of the door is okay but the block over of the very first row is completely loose. The morter has completely crumbled away. I didn't see it since it had been blocked by a box of the previous owner. The only box in the basement. I didn't think anything of it at the time. The two two blocks over to the right of that one look like they are still attached to the wall but they are behind the other blocks by a half inch or so on top.

How big of an issue is this and how do I go about fixing it?

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/
