Popcorn ceilings

I'm looking at purchasing a 1000 sq ft condo that has popcorn ceilings. The place has an amazing city view but the interior is outdated with original 80s things but the popcorn ceilings are the worst! Building was built in 1981 and they've kept it in good condition but didnt modernize at all (think browns and oranges, brown wood trim and doors, and a wet bar next to the wood fireplace). The place has been on the market for 139 days so I'd like to use that as some bargaining power. I was thinking of putting in an offer for full listing price, but asking the seller to cover closing costs and the cost of removing the popcorn ceilings. Is that asking too much? The water heater is also from 2013 so my agent suggested we could ask to have that replaced, but i think the popcorn ceilings would cost a lot more so would rather have that covered and I do believe one of the reasons it's not selling is because the whole place looks so outdated. Is this a reasonable offer?

(Looking at past listings, i can see in photos that some of the other units dont have it so i know it's allowed to remove the popcorn ceilings.)

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/
