Feeeling a bit hopeless

We bought my parents house and added an in law in 2012. They live with us but it’s been not the best experience. Our relationship has gone severely downhill in the last 13 years to the point where we barely speak. It’s a long story I don’t need to get in to, but my husband and I are ready to move on, separately. We don’t like the town anymore, the house doesn’t suit us anymore, and we hate the very busy main street the house is on. We had the discussion last week with my parents and they agreed to find their own place.

I got so excited that my future was finally looking brighter and we didn’t have to be stuck in this house with my parents anymore. Called a realtor yesterday, discussed our options. Selling won’t be a problem, but buying could be because sellers are not taking offers with contingencies. So basically our options are to sell and move in with family (not an option ) or to rent (which is $$$ and we have 2 dogs).

I’m feeling so bummed because it took me so long to get the guts to even have the convo with my parents, and that all went so smoothly, and now I feel like we’re still going to be stuck here.

Guess I’m just venting, but also looking for any ideas or other options anyone might have.

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...

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/
