Love location/lot size but not the floor plan which will never be what I want. Would you go for it anyway?

We toured a house today in the only neighborhood we are interested in living in. We’ve looked and know this is where we want to be. However, we feel conflicted about it because while the lot is bigger than average and the set up is perfect for our son, garden and chickens we aren’t crazy about the floor plan. I love open concepts but this 70s two story layout would only allow for open kitchen and dining room vs the open kitchen, dining, living room that I prefer. The house has some nice extras like a generator, huge back covered patio with fans and tv installed, mature trees, and is out of the flood zone which is a big deal for where we live. This will be our 3rd house purchase and buying another home that I don’t absolutely love has me feeling so torn bc the location is perfect but the house will never be what we imagine for ourselves. Have any of you been in a similar situation? What was the decision and do you regret it?

ETA: this was the 6th house we looked at in this neighborhood over the last 9 months. Starting to wonder if we’re just too damn picky!

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/
