Considering a smaller, more expensive house with a bigger yard in the same neighborhood

I currently live in a new construction house, where the actual house I love, but there is an alley and no view and tiny yard. And now having 2 kids I really regret. I hate seeing my neighbors house right up against mine every day and everyone’s garages and driveways through my living room window.

There is a new house going up for sale that is the corner lot. It is a cheaper model than ours, one step down. And some of the things they chose inside the house I would maybe redo down the line. But their basement is finished (unlike ours) and they have a much nicer side yard that looked out into the neighborhood lake as well. And no matter what I do, I’ll never be able to do more than the current non existent yard we have.

We’ve only been in our house for 2 years so it feels stupid to move. But we really like our neighborhood, I hate our lot, and am really considering this switch. Their house is listed 200k more than we bought for our home. Would it be dumb to buy a smaller home for the yard? And pay more money for it.

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...
