Is This Wise?

Due to our location and low inventory in our area, our realtor wouldn't list our current house until we bought another, because she didn't want us to have a buyer without a place for us to go. We are a multigenerational household, so we have specific needs that are difficult to find here. So we did what she advised...we used a cash program through our lender and closed on a house last week. Our current house has been on the market for 3 weeks. A lot of interest and good feedback, but no offers. My question is....would it be wise to count on our current house selling, and to start doing renovations to the home we purchased? If our current house doesn't sell, we don't get to keep the one we bought, so we'd be out any money/time we put into it. The other side of me thinks "take advantage of all this extra time and start things now, so there's less to do after we move in".

What are your thoughts? I'm sure this was confusing to read, so feel free to ask questions for clarity if needed. Thanks!

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...
