Closing tomorrow...is it weird to leave a gift?

We're closing tomorrow on the sale of our house. We bought the house 17 years ago when our kids were tiny and we made some great memories there but it's time to move on. We had two very interested couples and, frankly, I didn't like one of them. They were rude, demanding, and obnoxious. But then the second couple showed up and everything clicked. They instantly loved the house, texted just a couple of hours after their first viewing to ask if they could come back the next day, texted their offer within a couple hours after their second viewing, and less than two weeks later we're closing tomorrow! They're a very sweet couple with a young daughter and they're so excited about the house. Even though it's time for us to move on it's a little bit bittersweet but I'm so happy they're the ones that will have it now.

I thought I might leave a nice bottle of wine and a "We made some great memories here and we're so thrilled that you'll be making wonderful memories of your own!" note on the kitchen counter. Is that weird? If you bought a home and the seller left you something like that would you be creeped out by 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...

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/
