Sell a house we just bought few months ago in New York State

Bought a house in NYS in summer but I'm regretting buying this house as we have 3 little kids and my partner and I work full-time in office, our commute to work is now 45+ miles each way (initially we both worked remote but now we are told to be in the office 5 days a week). and we are spending more time in traffic than at home, with each other and with our kids.

We do wanna be homeowners and would like to buy another house closer to NYC.

The current house itself is great, doesn't need any improvements. Specious + 1.5 acre land. There is currently a 12 greenhouse solar farmhouse being built next to our property that should be completely built in next 5 years.

We are in "no rush" of selling it but wouldn't hesitate selling it if we get a good offer whenever in next couple of months or 1-2 years.

A few questions:

1- What can a real estate agent do for us? Should our agent or we reach out to the farm owners and see if they would like to buy our house and expand on their future farm?

How often does reaching out to others to sell your property work?

2- Is this possible: can our agent show our house to a buyer who's looking to purchase a property like ours, while our house is off market? How would this work?

3- please give an idea or advice regarding selling this property. We miss being close to the city and our family. We didn't realize how important it is to be close to the family until we moved away. I guess it's a very expensive lesson for us.

Please be gentle and no rude comments, we are disheartened that this beautiful house isn't going to be our forever home.

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...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
