I’m interested in buying a house but I have concerns that I could be walking into a future neighbor feud. Basically the backyard of this home is nice and flat. Perfect for a fence for my dog. However the last about 10-15’ of yard has been separated by a tiny creek. Still easy to get to but It’s clear that the neighbors behind started using that piece of land and probably have no idea it is not theirs. They’ve built a playground and are mowing/maintaining it. If I ask for a survey and that land does belong to the house, I would like to reclaim it. But I’m concerned about adverse property laws, and just straight up pissing off those neighbors. Based on how their home is designed I’d be taking back almost their entire usable backyard. Is it worth this kind of potential headache? Is it weird to knock on the future neighbors door and talk to them? submitted by /u/TacoGoose [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1p4kqs4/would_you_buy_if_there_is_a...

I am under contract to purchase. They have updated everything in the house and it’s in great shape. I was purchasing as is at the time of construction (meaning no additions or renovations) and only asking for safety and structural repairs. Inspection went well. Radon failed (common in my area) and they had to mediate. Inspection flagged moisture staining in the fireplace and cracked floor (it’s prefab). They don’t use it but it was listed on the disclosure in working condition and had been inspected. I had a level two done and they found rust on the collar, caused by a leak from an improperly installed chase cap. After speaking with the manufacturer and assessing the system, they deemed it failed and a complete replacement needed.Like for like replacement est at $8700. Purchase price was $40,000 over asking and $20,000 over what they were expecting to get (we knew the buyers). Considering all of the circumstances I felt asking for a the amount in full as a credit at closing was approp...

Hey everyone, I just started working in real estate in the UAE, and I have zero experience. I’m not from this industry at all, but I ended up liking it way more than I expected (because of money ofc lol). The problem is: the people I work with don’t teach anything. No tips, no guidance, no way to learn how to close deals. Everyone treats their success like it’s some secret formula. So I can’t learn much from inside the office. A big part of the buyers here are Russians, and I honestly don’t know how they usually find opportunities abroad or what gets their attention. I just found a fire project, it's my first ever to work on, and I don’t want to waste it by being clueless. So for Russians (or anyone who understands that market): How do you normally discover real estate deals in another country? Is it through friends, research, word of mouth, random ads, something else? Basically, what makes you even look into a property in the first place? I honestly want to target ...

Realistically I can add $3,000 extra a month without abandoning my family if needed. -We have minimal debt of about $700 a month but have the cash to pay the debt off to $0 and have a significant amount left over.

I swear lease agreements have gotten more complicated over the last few years. Even the "simple" ones feel bloated with clauses, addendums, cross-references, and weird wording that makes me second-guess what I'm actually agreeing to. Lately I've been running parts of my lease through a mix of AI tools (stuff like AI Lawyer, CoCounsel, CaseText - basically any of the AI explanation/drafting tools) just to get plain-language summaries before I sign anything. It's not legal advice obviously, but it helps me at least understand what the clause means before I ask a real attorney. Is anyone else doing this?

Location: MA Most brokerage firms have a boiler plate contracts. I’ve read a few and some of the legalese is difficult and other parts were fine to read. When asking to modify the contract, I always get the answer ‘ I cannot’. …”our lawyers have drafted this and they won’t budge” I am going to sell my home (first time seller, hcol, sellers market, low inventory) and wanted to know if I could indeed add an addendum or modify sections. Are there any particular items to exclude/include from a contract to protect myself (eg contingencies, etc)? For example, one agent said I would owe him 6% regardless if the home sold or not. I didn’t move forward. I’d like to make sure I protect myself. I spoke to a few real estate attorneys who did they normally don’t read sellers contracts or give advice only do P&S.

Cashout/HELOAN amount - $80k Amount of equity in home: $150k Purchased home 10 years ago. I know people always ask for details, so let me say this: During the pandemic we had family members who were struggling financially. We kept helping and helping and wound up realizing we were swiping more and more for ourselves with a CC to keep these family members afloat. I don’t want a speech on how we should or shouldn’t have done this. What I’m here for now is to say we’re in debt by a lot. And due to the high interest rate CCs we have, we want to pay this off. We are paying thousands upon thousands of dollars each year and it’s not touching the principal. My question is this: We asked around to lenders about a cashout refinance, HELOC and HELOAN. HELOC we’re not comfortable with, Especially due to the variable rate. Given what we’ve seen with the state of rates and such jumping and going back down month to month the past few years?

So, 33M and I’m trying to do the thing. They’re asking $495k on a 3/2, with a pool. Toured it recently and it’s turn-key. However right after we left another tour came by and today the listing just went active. The sellers have a specific date in mind on vacating (2+ months post) which I’m willing to accommodate so I hope I have some leverage there. But regardless we’re going to offer $505k and seek $10k back. This may be a frozen market as some state, but this house will move so I want to be aggressive and not hit low, especially on day 1. Not to mention they bought the house in 2023 for $475k. How does that sound so far? The next hesitation is the cost. I’m a high earner, $200k+, but I still want to be savvy. I was quoted 5.75% @ 30 with 3% down (I’m new money, cash light). I can buy the rate down to various numbers (the $10k cash back) but I’m curious if it’s worth it with 2026 looming.

I inherited a 55+ condo around 8 years ago. I’m 34 and haven’t had any problems with anyone trying to kick me out. I like it here I’m gone 3 weeks out of the month for work and when I come home it’s quite. The place is old maybe 1970-1980. Eventually I want to sell it and get a real house maybe move states but that dream seems far out. Right now I’m wondering if I should sell the place or keep it and try to find something of similar value that might be easier and higher to sell in the future. As the place is old it seems like I’m losing money on resale even though I know every year the price should be rising I know nothing about real estate so would like your opinions.

I’m curious about things like - speeding up property description - follow-ups you don’t have to rewrite 20 times - quick comps or market snapshots - drafting replies to cold leads - handling repetitive CRM tasks - anything that genuinely reduced the workload I’ve been experimenting with different AI routines myself, but I feel like I’m probably missing 90% of what other agents discovered.

I think 2008 was the last time we will see adverse price discovery in the real estate market because banks, fanny/freddie and the fed need to cover their downside risk. This is outlined in a Brookings paper called Quantitative easing and housing inflation post-COVID: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/quantitative-easing-and-housing-inflation-post-covid/ The Fed’s quantitative easing (QE) resulted in the Fed buying nearly 90% of the increase in eligible mortgages from 2020 to 2022. A massive increase in house prices coincided with the Fed’s QE, translating into higher housing inflation. Housing was a key component of the post-COVID inflationary episode and kept overall inflation above the Fed’s 2% target. The assumption that buying mortgages as part of QE has no relationship with house prices should be reconsidered for future monetary policy responses to recessions. submitted by /u/External_Koala971 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comment...

I live in California. My cousin wants to buy a house that is very close to some of the rest of our family in Alabama (her parents and sister). She's a stay at home mom with 2 kids with her long term boyfriend. The house is currently priced at $280,000. I have good income and credit score - not good enough income to buy a house in my HCOL city (technically, I could afford it, but renting and investing the difference comes out WAY ahead of buying) but enough that I could afford a $2000/mo mortgage payment on top of my existing expenses. $3000/mo if necessary but that's more of a stretch than I'd like. She has no income or credit score. My vague idea is that I could get the mortgage on the house, and have her do a kind of rent to own? With her boyfriend's money of course.

Hi everyone, I'm curious about people's experience with deciding whether to sell or rent a property in Cyprus. For example, in cities like Limassol or Nicosia, some investors and locals are seeing property values rise fast, but keeping a property as a rental comes with maintenance, tenant management, and sometimes slow rental demand depending on the season.

I am looking at a house that is 103 years old priced 205k. I have an accepted offer and I have performed my home inspections.

Long story short I switched agents after 2 failed offers. I found a new agent who seemed a lot better at pushing down the price and striking the deal. I went with the new guy to tour a condo I had my eye on, liked what I saw, so we put in an offer and he got to work, told me he was on the phone all day and managed to shave $15k off asking price and got the listing agent to sign. The terms looked great so I signed and was preparing to set aside my escrow amount. An hour later and I’m on the phone with my previous agent who obviously wasn’t pleased but then he said he already showed me the condo on our first tour. I was like what ive never seen the place before. But thinking about it when i saw it yesterday it was completely dark from daylight savings and the unit had no electricity until we figured out how to turn it on, we were shining our phone flashlights. And all the showings I did with the previous agent were in daylight. Now that I think about it I can vaguely remember the previ...

I’ve made a contingent offer in a home in NC. My current home is in the market. When would it need to close to make the 1/10 deadline? And how aggressively should I be dropping the price right now?

Hello guys, I’m getting my house in Bedford, NH, ready to list next spring. The yard is mostly bare right now, but I’m thinking a professional landscape design plan could help showcase its potential. Is this a worthwhile investment, or do most buyers overlook this? submitted by /u/KsmHD [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1opw3hj/does_a_detailed_landscape_plan_add_value_during_a/

I have been watching a house that is coming up for auction according to auction.com, the auction is scheduled for next Monday but on auction.com it says the property has not yet been cleared for auction.. the auction is a court house that is 300 miles away so I’d like to know for sure that the property will be for sale that day before driving all that way to find out otherwise. So my question is there a way to figure if it’s cleared for auction besides relying on auction.com? Any insight is appreciated, thank you submitted by /u/AK-99501 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1opukf4/foreclosure_how_can_check_if_its_cleared_for/

Hey everyone, I am a real estate agent, and I have recently started out. (F28/NYC) I have been trying and exploring various forms of outreach methods to call home owners who are in pre foreclosure and get them to sell their house; and recently, I tried taking help from an agency to set up an AI powered automated calling system to automate this for me. Its been almost two weeks, and I have been getting a good response (I guess its too early to judge) but I have also been able to reach out to way more people than what me and my team used to manually. Has anyone here ever tried something like this? and if so, how has your experience been. I would love to hear your stories, and take some feedback on how can I go about this. submitted by /u/Upstairs-Grass-2896 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1optwza/quick_questions_i_am_just_curious/

Have been thinking about selling for a while now but I have a feeling prices will go down a lot more in the next couple years in NYC area. I have a 2 family home (1 living and 1 renting). How fast is selling it possible? Would I have to kick out current tenant before selling? There's a bathroom and laundry room that was built without permits when I bought the house and therefore got it at a discount. Is it possible to sell it again without permits or should I take it down before selling? I would also like to sell without an agent and just list it myself to save on closing costs. submitted by /u/IntelligentMind200 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1op0o33/selling_in_nyc/

Hi! I run a small studio and we offer full social media management for $79/month. Something I’ve noticed, a lot of people who reach out to us either don’t have any social media presence yet, or they only start thinking about it when we talk. And it’s not just the usual niches, even SaaS, tech, or more traditional service-based businesses sometimes don’t bother with socials at all. Some people think social media only makes sense if your business is product-based or in a “visual” niche like beauty, food, or fashion. Others feel like it doesn’t apply to them, or that it wouldn’t help much for what they offer. But honestly, from what we’ve seen, almost every type of business benefits from having some kind of online presence, even traditional fields like accounting firms, clinics, real estate agents , repair services, local cafés, coaches, small shops, etc. For me, having some kind of social presence generally helps because most people check online before they reach out to a business. ...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased an under-construction flat in Hyderabad. Possession is expected around July 2026. It’s a construction-linked payment plan — the builder has already taken around 80% (paid 20% by me and rest by bank as home loan). Right now, the only document I have is the Agreement of Sale (AOS). The project is RERA and HMDA approved. Could someone please guide me on — What documents I should ask or collect from the builder at this stage? What papers are generally provided before possession and after possession? Anything important I should verify or ensure to avoid future issues (legal, registration, etc.)? Would really appreciate if anyone who’s been through this can share a checklist or advice. 🙏 submitted by /u/Objective_Juice7059 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1oo19ug/builder_have_not_provided_any_paper_till_now/

While 30 year fixed mortgage rates declined before the Fed cut in response to the 10 year yield going down, the adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) saw a more direct impact from the Fed cut and went down as much as 0.25% after the Fed cut. Savvy buyers can get rates in the low 5s on a 5/1 ARM. submitted by /u/ThemeBig6731 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1onakch/savvy_buyers_are_taking_advantage_of_lower/

In the normal MLS area where sellers fill out address, number of bedrooms, square footage, price, etc., there should be a requirement to fill out one of two choices: "I don't really have to or want to sell, but I will if someone is dumb enough to offer me peak 2022 aspirational pricing." "I want to sell at today's market price, whatever that happens to be." It'd be nice to be able to filter out the first which is polluting many listing searches so that real buyers can focus on the second group. submitted by /u/RPeters41577 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1on9c10/new_proposal_for_real_estate_listings/

I do not want a realtor representing me as a buyer. But the sellers agent will not even give me the time of day or allow a showing. Says I must get my own realtor.

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with real estate — not from the buying/selling side, but from the tech side. I’ve been binge-watching Selling Sunset (yeah, guilty 😂), and every time I see those deals, commissions, and insane listings, I keep thinking… “what kind of tools could make this process smoother, smarter, and more transparent?” Now I find myself sketching dashboards, CRMs, and analytics ideas at 2AM. I don’t even know if I’ll make “Selling Sunset” money one day, but I love the idea of building something that powers the people who do. Anyone else here obsessed with real estate tech or working on something similar? Would love to connect, swap ideas, or even collaborate. submitted by /u/Ok-Preference-7205 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ona1vy/i_cant_stop_building_tools_for_the_real_estate/

I bought a home last December in a new development and spring came and I soon discovered I have a yard that severely floods. It has rendered the home uninhabitable and I’ve vacated it and moved into an apartment. The builder has denied all responsibility and they have treated me so horribly in me trying to rectify this issue. I’ve filed complaints with the attorney general’s office in my state and the builder hired a prestigious law firm that is drafting rebuttals attempting to absolve the builder of all responsibility of course. It’s a USDA backed loan and the lender is required to ensure that properties such as mine are safe, sanitary and free from structural defects. A flooding home violates these standards and I’ve reported them to the USDA but since there’s a shutdown, they are unable to process my complaint. I’ve decided to stop payment and let them foreclose. I don’t have the heart or the conscience to sell this flooding home to another party so the bank is going to have to...

Hi all. I'm currently under contract to purchase a home and just had my inspections, which included a sewer scope (cast iron line from the 40s). I'm in NJ and we had heavy rain on Thursday when the scope was performed. During the scope we saw a lot of water in the line and at one point we saw what can be described as a mini waterfall coming into the line, which means there has to be a crack. I'm lucky that it was raining because I do not think we would have seen it otherwise. The sellers bought the house in 2019 and never lived in it, and used that as an excuse to leave half of their disclosure blank (including the part about the sewer) so it's up to us to find everything. Given the amount of water in the line, it would be reasonable to think that the line is sagging there and cracked due to that. However, the report given to me by the company says there are no issues, even though they included pictures of the standing water and the waterfall. I am very anxious that...

Hey everyone! I recently purchased a 75 ft × 740 ft lot and I honestly have no idea what to do with it. It's in a great location - just 1 mile from the largest park in the city (over 5,000 acres), surrounded by established homes, and there are developers actively building in the area. But I have zero experience with land planning or development. The Challenge: The lot is long and narrow, which makes it tricky. I've been trying to visualize different possibilities - single-family home with a long driveway? Multiple structures? Barndominium? Something else? I'm completely lost. What I Did: Since I couldn't find a simple tool to help me visualize options, I built one. It's a free drag-and-drop canvas specifically for this 75×740 ft lot where you can place buildings, parking, roads, etc. and see real-time measurements and square footage.

Builders today always win, no matter the market. Their projects are backed by multiple investors — land, flat, and material investors — each expecting a premium return. Landowners trade plots for flats, flat investors fund construction for profit, and material suppliers often take flats as payment. The builder, acting more like a marketing agency, holds premium units to sell first at top prices. This cycle keeps prices high, as no investor wants to sell below cost. It’s a calculated cat-and-mouse game — but eventually, the market must find its balance. submitted by /u/andy_shipmyapp [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1olooct/the_real_game_behind_rising_real_estate_prices/

I asked this a while back but some things have changed and not sure what we should do. My wife and I will be moving after winter and looking for a house between $300-450k. Figuring the new payment would be about $2200-3000, our current payment with everything escrowed in is $1080 at 2.75 interest. We owe $135k and can sell for around $275k, we live in a development so all the houses have same setup 3 bedroom 1.5 bath. Houses that need work have just sold in past month for $250-285k. Our house is move in ready brand new everything except plumbing, so would assume it would go on higher side of price. We have currently $25k saved up and running numbers with a realtor on costs after selling and paying closing costs, realtor fees a $40k down payment and everything in between we should walk away with around $85k in our pockets. Have researched renting instead of selling but hard to figure out if best for us. We can rent the house for around $2000-2500. I have some specific questions; Can w...
