LA, California Folks - Need some help!

My husband and I are moving to LA due to his job moving and we are wondering if the market will ever drop below what it is now? If so, should we rent and wait to buy or is now the time to buy?

We are currently in Texas and bought our home for $300K. We will sell for a profit of about the same. I would like to make the same type of investment in LA so we are not upside down on a house. We built our home new and although the lot is small, the area is booming, driving the prices up. I know there is a lot of gentrification happening in some areas of LA but also wondering if established areas will ever see a price drop?

Also would like to add I have been looking at modular and manufactured homes to buy and possible save to buy a nicer home later if prices drop. If anyone has advice on this, that would be great!

TLDR; moving to LA and need advice on if we should buy or rent? If buy, should we buy a modular or foundation home?

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/
