Best area for 300kish?

Not sure if such an area exists but my husband and I are considering a total lifestyle change. We currently live in what I consider a MCOL to HCOL area (suburb outside of Charleston, SC) and are looking to move and start somewhere new, ideally on the east coast, but open to elsewhere. It is way too expensive here and we would love a bit of a bigger house with our second child on the way, but have been priced out of our area. The median home price is now over $1M and we paid half of that 4 years ago. Does such an area exist where you can get these things for 300-400k? We’d love to buy outright with our equity but not sure if it’s possible in today’s market?

-Good schools -2500-3000 sq foot house or smaller with a basement (don’t have these in the south!) -Lots to do for families and kids -Not opposed to HOA but would prefer a larger lot/more land than the postage stamp we currently have -Ideally no snow to mild winter -Outdoor things to do- we currently live close to the beach and love it. Would love an area with lots of parks, playgrounds, maybe hiking, etc.

Thanks in advance!

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/
