9504 347th St S Roy, WA 98580 This house has been on the market since July, obviously overpriced. I’m having a hard time finding comps with a shop, rv, and yard in this area. I’m not loving most of the design choices inside the home but the shop, yard, and rv parking might make up for it if the price is right. My realtor thinks it’s priced correctly. submitted by /u/ice_cream_obsessed [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1q0dmuu/what_should_this_house_be_actually_priced_at/

TLDR: Closed 12/26, with 2 of 3 of 2025 taxes processing after paid by current mortgage. Brought full tax amount to closing with Title expected to pay 3rd tax and refund other 2 once processed. Current mortgage pays Tax 3 after closing but before funding so payoff amount has increased. Title is holding full tax amount from me, same taxes that have now been paid by current mortgage. How do we fund the payoff difference? LONG VERSION Closed on Dec. 26th and brought a little over $8k to closing. Actual closing costs were rolled into the refinance. The $8k was the equivalent of all 2025 taxes that are in transit— paid out of escrow but not yet showing zero balance with tax entities. New loan was to be funded on December 31st. Property taxes are due Jan 31st here, but my current mortgage company sends the tax payments in December. I have 3 tax entities. Current Mortgage company sent out tax #1 and #2 in early December, as of closing date, the payments still show pending. Looking at last...

Hello, wife and I are looking at buying an apartment/condo in a highrise in Wakiki. It will be our primary residence. We've owned single family homes before and are familiar with mortgages and the home-buying/selling process. We've also both lived in apartments and are aware of some of the unique apartment-life challenges like crappy neighbors and noise. Things we're paying attention to: Building and interior wall construction, building age, available and assigned parking, pet policy. I'm aware HOA fees are a variable expense that we can't control; potentially rising year after year. I'm also aware of needing/evaluating the current reserve study. Other than that, are there any other financial aspects that we should know/consider when it comes to buying a place in a highrise specifically? This will be a first for us and we're trying to learn as much as we can before any nasty surprises after the fact. Thanks! submitted by /u/fropleyqk [link] [co...

I'm selling my house and I'm taking a $29,000 loss on it at listed price but realtor.com shows it plus $83,000 and the reason it shows it that way. Is it picked up the builders buying parcels of land for that price and it did not pick up the actual price I paid which is in the county records? I'm not sure what to do. I don't think anybody wants to pay $83,000 more than I paid 2 years ago in this market submitted by /u/Pristine-Support-631 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1pynvgs/realtorcom_and_redfin_made_big_mistake_on_my/

Spent a Week Sourcing Units for a Buyer — Deal Didn’t Close, But the Lessons Were Real I came very close to closing my first real estate deal this week, and honestly, it stings a bit. I spent almost an entire week on it including weekends. Tracking down available units, reaching out to owners directly, understanding their expectations, and trying to structure something that made sense for everyone involved. Things were moving in the right direction until the final price negotiations, where it ultimately fell apart. Not going to lie, it was frustrating. But at the same time, this is exactly how the business works. Deals don’t fail because of lack of effort; they fail because numbers, timing, or expectations don’t align. That’s part of the game, especially early on. The upside? I learned more from this one almost-deal than I would have from an easy close. Better negotiation awareness, clearer qualification, and understanding. Insha Allah, on to the next one wiser, sharper. Ps - some...

I’m currently house hunting for a townhome in HCOL area in the $1.2M – $1.4M range. Like many, I’ve always operated under the "Standard Rule": Put 20% down to avoid PMI, then keep the rest of your cash in the market (S&P 500) to outpace the mortgage interest, especially since the interest is tax-deductible. However, I just had a "lightbulb moment" regarding the IRS limits that changes the math significantly. **The Realization:** The Mortgage Interest Deduction (MID) is capped at **$750k of principal**. If I buy a $1.2M home with 20% down: * **Down Payment:** $240k * **Mortgage:** $960k * **The "Tax Gap":** $210k of that mortgage receives **zero** tax benefit. Essentially, I’m paying the full 6.5% interest (or whatever the current rate is) on that top $210k without the "subsidy" of a tax write-off. Meanwhile, my "guaranteed" return on cash in a HYSA is only \~4.5% (pre-tax). **The Pivot:** I have enough liquidity to potentia...

A little background: we bought our house a few years ago and, at the time, received an inspection report from another buyer who ultimately backed out for personal reasons. That report was very clean, with only minor issues that were easily addressed. We’ve now decided to move and are working with a very experienced local realtor. On their recommendation, we did a pre-inspection before listing, fully expecting it to come back clean again. The inspector repeatedly told us we have a great house overall, but the written report feels… alarming. The main findings were minimal termite damage, asbestos (also small area and easily fixable), and some electrical items we’re already planning to remediate. Our realtor’s suggestion is to share the inspection report (along with documentation showing what we’ve fixed) with serious buyers. The idea is to put everyone on the same page, demonstrate that we’ve taken care of issues, and ideally encourage offers that waive inspection contingencies. His v...

I am going to look at houses in a city where I am considering retiring, but I don't know anyone there to ask for advice. I am going to assume that having a buyer's agent is a good choice, but I will listen if people think I would be hurting my position somehow. Assuming I should have a buyer's agent, how would I know I was getting a good one? Are there ratings that are useful in selecting an agent? The one I spoke with so far was so over the top aggressive that I know she would not be a good fit for me. It's hard to just call them cold, though, and not expect them to want to get you as a client. Any advice at all on how to find a good one?

Long story short, my mom has a 460k house she has had listed since August that hasn't sold. She's had some people come and tour the house but no body is buying. It's a beautiful 5 bed 3 bath with no issues and its only like 2 years old. I know the market is saturated with people trying to sell homes, but the mortgage payments on this house are crazy. 75% of her income goes just to paying her mortgage. She still has her first home and wants to move back into it and get rid of the second house because she's getting behind on payments. She has a real estate agent who is helping her discuss options, but I'm wondering if there are options the agent wouldnt mention because they're not profitable to her. She's stressed and I'm stressed by proxy. I think just taking the L and selling it at a loss is the best way to go but I don't really know anything about how to go about that short of calling the we buy houses numbers I see posted up around town 💀 it s...

Post-divorce, I have attempted home ownership three times, and while the decisions seemed right in the moment, in retrospect, they feel like missteps. - I did a cash-out refinance on 1960s marital home, but maintenance and repairs were too expensive/overwhelming. - I bought a 20-year-old townhome, which ended up needing HVAC, AC, and water heater replaced in the first six months, followed by HOA special assessment for new roof. Not having enough natural light and a yard for kids was also tough. - I bought a new construction single-family home, but the payment is now $500 more a month than it was at closing due to increases in taxes and HOA. Half of my take-home income (FT job plus side hustle) goes to mortgage/HOA payments.

I’m trying to think through logically if I should be more prepared to make a move in a bit of a rush if the market goes up or down. We currently own two homes in Austin. One is paid off and worth ~$500k at present. That serves as an income property ATM. We live in the other home. That one is worth ~$410k and owe ~$300k with a 3% mortgage. Our plan is to move out from the city and get an acre lot with a little larger home. We’d turn our current home into a second rental. Right now that would probably cost us around $650k in the area we’re looking. My thought process is that we’re fairly insulated from real estate values right now and it’s no rush. If prices go up, we suddenly have way more equity we could leverage and likely more rental income. If prices go down, we have less equity to leverage, but also… we’d be spending less. I’m just trying to think through scenarios and make sure I don’t miss some golden window if it happens. submitted by /u/strikecat18 [link] [commen...

I’m currently under contract for a lakefront home in Maine. the home is owned by a trust. The sellers asked for a 90 day close so their elderly mother can travel to the home to help pack it up. We ok’d it because we’re not in a hurry. During our due diligence period we learned that there was a bunch of unpermitted work outside. The sellers got most of it permitted a few weeks ago but the deck is 3 feet too close to the lake and needs to be addressed. There is an avenue for them to dispute the ruling which will take - surprise, surprise - 3 months. We were granted an extended due diligence period that lasts a few more weeks. What is a reasonable concession in this situation? The deck will go from 10’ to 7’. We expect the sellers to cover the cost if their appeal isn’t granted and it has to be shortened. The listing did advertise the big deck as a selling feature and didn’t mention the permit issues. We’ve been in communication with the permitting office and have copies of the full per...

I’m a first time homebuyer in Massachusetts trying to decide between purchasing a single family home or a small multifamily ($700k-$900k range). I’ve heard that multifamily properties are the smart first purchase to build long term wealth. However, most of the success stories I hear come from people who bought years ago under very different market conditions. We would owner occupy and rent out the other unit, but I’m questioning whether that still makes sense in 2025. Long term, I want to live in a single family, and my biggest concern is that this first purchase will delay that goal for decades or prevent it entirely. I’m trying to figure out whether this actually makes sense in today’s market, or if we’d be better off putting that money toward a long term, single family home instead. Edit: To add some context, my partner grew up in an owner occupied multifamily and has experience with maintenance and property management. I’ve been a renter since I was 18 and have had my share of...

I've been scouting for unique ways to invest in property that could generate some passive income without the usual headaches of traditional rentals. Lately, I've got my eye on turning a plot of land into a glamping setup – think short-term vacation spots for folks wanting a break from city life, like couples on weekend getaways or families looking for adventure. The plan is to start small with one or two units on affordable acreage in a scenic area, maybe near a national park or lake, where demand for experiential stays is high. I'd handle basics like off-grid solar for power, composting toilets, and simple furnishings to keep costs down, aiming for $150-300/night rates based on comps I've seen on Airbnb. What draws me to this is the low maintenance and quick build time; for instance, a geodesic glamping dome can go up in days with modular parts, offering that cool, futuristic vibe while being sturdy against weather. Materials like galvanized steel frames and UV-resi...

My husband and I are first time homebuyers. We haven't signed with a buyers agent yet as we planned to purchase our first home in spring 2026. We just heard through a family friend that a house in the area we're wanting to purchase is for sale off-market. Based on our research, the price is great and cheaper than the numbers we have been seeing lately. Apparently the owners are moving across the country and have the caveat that they'd like to sell now and then rent the property until they are ready for the move. This would be perfect for my husband and I, as we think the price sounds great, and then we could remain in our apartment until our lease is up in the spring. We know the area fairly well, it has a great school system, and we have family who lives in town already who can also advise on questions we have about the town.

I had to submit one of these to a county recorder/assessor office in California. Assessor Parcel Number, names, dates, book & page number, and document/instrument number of original deed are all correct. In description of property I wrote a brief description consisting of lot number, subdivision number, city, county, state, reference to county recorder's map. It's a single lot with a single parcel.

I own a commercial building and recently completed renovations and leased it out. The vacant lot directly next to it is owned by a 78-year-old woman who’s held it for ~20 years. It’s unlisted, vacant land, and I found her through public records / parcel apps. I have her mailing address. Because my building is now stabilized and leased, I’m concerned other investors will start paying attention to this block. I see this lot as strategically important for future development tied to my existing property, so timing actually matters here. I want to approach her off-market in a way that: • Maximizes the chance she responds • Doesn’t spook her or trigger defensive pricing • Moves efficiently without being disrespectful or predatory I’m weighing: • Handwritten letter as the neighboring owner • Door knock (daytime, respectful) • Letter + follow-up cadence • Or a more direct approach I’m overlooking Specific questions for people who’ve actually done off-market deals: 1.

Cash only, btw - fixer upper property To summarize, I'm interested in a property that the seller says is "valued basically for the land," as she thinks the small house on the property is worthless (due to currently being unlivable, but it could be livable once some costly repairs are done). However, the listing price is not appropriate if it's pretty much just for the land & also doesn't take into account the added liabilities if the house needs tens of thousands of work or ends up needing to be torn down if beyond repair. I would like to have a well inspection, septic inspection, and general home/structural inspection, but the agent won't allow inspections unless I've sent an offer, the offer has been accepted, and I am under contract with the earnest money deposit sent ($2k). My issue is that I don't know just how severe / how much of an expense the well/plumbing, septic, and general repairs will be, so it feels pointless to come up with an a...

Over the years i've been touring houses I think I’ve read every variation of ‘charming,’ ‘cozy,’ ‘sun-drenched,’ and ‘perfect for entertaining’ ever written. Meanwhile, the house has one working outlet, a staircase that violates 17 safety codes, and a ‘bonus room’ that is clearly just an enclosed porch with optimistic aspirations. This is what drives me nuts: “Cozy” = I’m about to walk into a room where my shoulders touch both walls. Just say it’s small. It’s okay. Some people WANT small. “Perfect for entertaining” = the living room barely fits a loveseat. Who exactly is being entertained? Borrowed Barbie dolls? “Chef’s kitchen” = a 1999 electric stove and three square feet of counter space. My expectations are not unreasonable here. “Tons of natural light” = one east-facing window photographed during its 6-minute daily golden hour.

TRIGGER WARNING: Talks of Gun Violence For background, the city we live in has a crime rate that’s “higher than average” and typical homeowners are in the median to low income range. However, the city is decent in size (population of 34,000) and borders other cities that are similar in size but have better schools, lower crime, and multi-income ranges. We all reside in a county that shares jurisdictions (this is important to note for later) and most schools have a “school-of-choice” option, meaning you don’t have to attend the school in your district if a close neighboring school district has openings and willing to accept your transfer.

Whereas my husband lived on his own in an apartment. I currently don’t work & have no income. My husband gets paid weekly & makes a little over 1K. We’ve been looking at modular homes for rent. My question is, can we get approved with just one income? My credit is a 586 & my husband has no debt to income. I will be getting a job once we move out there. I’m just worried about getting started & not being approved to rent. Any advice would help! Thank you! submitted by /u/savannah_alyss [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1po45wl/moving_to_michigan/

Moving into a newly remodeled home, built in ~1950 We are right next to a park. If your best friend texted you “I just got the keys, what do I do first?” what would you tell them? I’m looking for the unfiltered, “text-your-best-friend” advice. I’m especially interested in: The First 48 Hours: (e.g., change locks, find the water main, reset garage codes) The "Park/Trail" Factor: Specific tips for living right next to public trails/water (privacy, security, salt air/rust, critters). Old House / New Remodel: What should I double-check on a 1950s flip? (e.g., electrical, sewer lateral, insulation). Hard Lessons: Things you learned the hard way (drainage, neighbors, permits). The <$100 MVP: Any cheap purchases that saved your sanity? Thanks in advance! Feel free to roast me gently if I’m missing something obvious. 😅 submitted by /u/PumduMe [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1pnyxsb/first_home_give_me_your_best_tex...

I pulled this from NWMLS data and tried to take screenshots but I realized i can't upload a photo. This data is comparing Last November to this November. So it should eliminate any seasonality. It is for the county i live in. Data point 2024 2025 Active listings 887 1236 New listings 538 485 Pending Sales 682 643 Sold Listings 682 573 Months of Inv. 1.3 2.2 Median Sale Price 783975 750000 So active listings has gone up by 50% but new listings are down 10% Pending sales vs sold listings for 2024 was 1:1 but in 2025 its 90% Months of inventory has almost doubled, but it still very low median price has dropped by 4.5% It looks like sales are slowing, inventory is growing and prices are dropping. Or is the data saying something I am missing? submitted by /u/loki_stg [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1pnwe60/help_me_understand_this_data_and_what_its_saying/

So we have a site set up where my preferences are supposed to filter in houses that look good to me based on price, features, and location. I asked her to have a wide range, including houses that may need the lower end renovation mortgage, all the way up to 350k. Pretty much all of the houses that show up are 300k and above. I mark those houses as "possible" or "favorite" and reject some that are 55+ etc (I am not 55+), and nothing ever comes of it, she never checks the site or anything. So I have ended up looking at homes on Zillow and Redfin, and just send her listings from there. Then I have to text her that I've sent her an email for her to notice. So last week I had sent her 3 houses, and when she called me about them she immediately told me one was under contract and she knew that because she put an offer in a month ago and it was under contract then. So I'm kind of like... wtf.. bc that house was livable, 260k, and about 3 blocks from where I live no...

Long story short we had a cash offer that they edited to add a loan. We signed the closing documents (?) on friday and the lady said they were “on track” but made a face since that was mid day this last friday. She said they’d let us know and we haven’t heard anything since and close is today (Monday). Is it safe to assume the funds have likely not been wired? They had around 3 weeks for the loan process and signed to pay cash if that wasn’t approved. Are we still going to close today if the mortgage company wires the funds this morning?

I’m getting closer to being done a custom spec house, that will have taken me a year and a half to build. It’s a beautiful high-efficiency home on 4 acres of land. I have self-financed, and put a lot of time and effort into this house, the thought of giving a realtor something like $60,000 to be a middleman drives me crazy. What will I need to know if I’m thinking about selling it without a realtor. submitted by /u/RealDumbGuy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1pn1y4i/selling_spec_house_for_1000000_and_really_dont/

so i’m in a bit of a situation where i need to get some legal documents sorted but i really can’t afford to pay a lawyer right now. i’ve been looking around for online legal templates and there are so many options, but it’s hard to know what’s actually reliable. i don’t want to mess up anything with the wrong forms. has anyone here used online legal templates that worked for you? i’m mostly looking for stuff like contracts and basic agreements for a small business, but i don’t want to end up with something that’s too generic or not legally sound. how do you know if the template you’re using is actually valid in your state? are there any sites that you trust more than others? i’ve seen a few that have good reviews, but honestly i’m kind of skeptical. also, how do i make sure the templates are up to date with current laws? i’m guessing that’s something i need to watch out for, right? would love to hear any advice or experiences you guys have had submitted by /u/ComprehensiveLoc...

Do you think HOA fees are necessary, or are they contributing to housing affordability issues for homeowners and first-time buyers? I came across a video that explains this issue and makes some plausible points about governance, fees, and financial impact.

This home was listed in Mar2025. Couldn't find a buyer so finally the seller rented it out in Nov. I liked the house while it was listed but wasn't sure about buying. Now after thinking more, I feel it's a good house to buy. How should I approach the situation. I have found the owner online on linkedin but don't know his contact details. Few questions 1.If I put an offer, can i approach him outside of RE agents and seller can save on commissions and reduce the price further? 2.Can I buy the house while it is rented? If I buy, I'm ok to wait while the lease is getting over, if the lease can be transferred under my name. submitted by /u/maarch72 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1pllsfy/offer_on_a_rented_home/

Curious how everyone in real estate is handling headshots right now. Are you still doing the full traditional route (book a photographer, studio lighting, 2–3 looks, etc.), or are you going more DIY with good natural light + phone + light editing? Personally, I’ve run into a few problems: I outgrow my headshot fast (new haircut, new style, different vibe). Coordinating a shoot around open houses and client calls is a nightmare. I end up reusing the same image everywhere and it starts to feel stale. I’ve been seeing more talk about AI‑powered headshot tools lately and keep hearing the name Looktara come up as an option for getting “studio‑quality” photos without a photographer. Supposedly you upload a bunch of your own pics once and then generate different professional shots as you need them. Has anyone here in real estate actually tried it? Did the photos look realistic enough for yard signs / business cards / online profiles? Would you trust an AI‑generated headshot on s...

My partner and I just bought our first home and I’d like to hear some pros and cons of the different home warranties out there.

Considering moving and selling my townhome. I was curious what open door would offer. Their website showed a decent price but based on my research they never actually offer that. They knock some money out for fixes, fees... But I am curious what their assessment is like for townhouse.

Question regarding realtor and a private sale. We had a neighbor wanting to private sale a house to us. Then they decided to go with a different buyer so we hired a realtor to look at houses in the area. We weren’t able to find any because our area has become a hot spot for buyers. It’s been a couple months and now our neighbor is wanting to sell us that original house again because their buyer fell through. Do we have to pay a realtor fee on that original house even though our realtor hasn’t been involved in that house for anything? The wording in the document we signed has me a little confused.

Single Family Home B (2 mil) Recently remodeled and has a tenant who pay 2500 a month. Plus 1 mil in cash and stocks. I want to either develop a apartment building or Buy more homes.
