Interested in a house that's been listed for 61 days, what are my chances of a lower price?

so I've been in the market since April 2024. in central pa area, there isn't as much inventory in my price range. need to stick to $1200 and under as a price point , be which is around $250k and under. I'm getting 5.375 rate right now. I've been beat out on every offer we put in, like 40-60k OVER asking price houses have been going for here. seems a trend to list them super cheap to get into a bidding war, there's always multiple offers, it's been a nightmare. I finally found one that's not freshly listed, and I see it was originally 265k, and now it's down to 259.9k, it's actually within my budget, but I still think that's to high of a price. what are my realistic options here? asking for help towards closing? asking for a lower price and letting them counter offer me? I'm working with a realtor, but getting burnt out at every deal falling thru, looking for some helpful tips, anything is appreciated

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...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
