Selling one parcel to buy another. Any tips on making the switch smoothly?

I’m planning to sell a 12-acre piece of land I own just outside of Athens, Georgia. It’s mostly wooded with road access, no structures on it yet. I originally bought it thinking I’d build a cabin, but my plans have changed and now I’m looking to reinvest into something a bit more remote and with more acreage.

I’ve been browsing listings on Mossy Oak, and there are a few interesting options, like a 40-acre tract in Kentucky with timber value and creek access, and another one in southern Tennessee that’s already cleared and has power lines nearby. Price-wise, they’re in the $130K–$200K range, which lines up pretty closely with what I expect to get from my current land. Any advice on timing or dealing with taxes when rolling the sale into another purchase?

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/
