Buyer is nickel and diming us after already giving discounts

We listed our place at $475,000 and after some back-and-forth, agreed to $450,000 with $10,000 in seller credits towards closing. I already felt that it was too low, but my partner wanted to move forward.

Inspection came back and of course there were issues, roof around $7,500, plumbing quoted at $2,200. We were prepared to work with that. But now the buyers are piling on with demands for every little thing: cosmetic drywall cracks, outlets, even wanting us to replace appliances they just don't like. On top of that, they're asking us to drop another $30,000. If we agree, we'd be walking away nearly $65,000 under list after credits.

It's frustrating because I've been through sales before and never had buyers push this far. At the same time, I've been thinking about buying rentals after this sale and trying to learn what would actually make managing tenants and leases less of a headache. Is a tool like TurboTenant worth looking into for someone starting out, or is it more hype than help?

At what point do you simply stop negotiating and tell the buyers "take it or leave it"? Thanks for the advice

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/
