Interior camera clause?

When we signed our agreement with our listing agent, there was a clause in there about not having our cameras inside because of North Carolina not allowing it? Which is fine. I don't want to hear what the buyers are saying, I don't really care.

My issue comes when two separate agents have left my front door open. We are leaving for a foreign country and my cat is under quarantine. He is caged up when I leave, however I forgot one time because it was a last minute showing and this is one of the people who left my doors open. We have stray cats because we are kind of rural and I don't want him to get into a fight with one and risk the very expensive FAVN test that I had to get to clear him. I will 1,000% make sure he is locked up from here on out, but that doesn't stop as stray animal from coming in and attacking through the cage bars if the door is left open. Not to mention it's freaking mosquito season. There are wasps and bees and other horrible little critters I don't want in my freaking house while I'm still living there.

So after that long-winded rant, can I change that clause to have my house camera aimed at my front door with the audio turned off? I know buyers and realtors don't have to believe me, but I'm genuinely an honest person and I don't care to creep on people. I just want the courtesy of my house being fucking closed when people leave it. And so far it has happened twice. My stuff is still in there, there is a sheisty, bad area of town right down the road and people do walk up and down that highway.

I don't think anyone would take me to court over it, but I'm really nervous because I did sign this piece of paper saying that I wouldn't have a camera inside. Also someone shit in my toilet and left it for me. Is anyone else having an issue with buyers and buyer's agents just completely being disrespectful or is it just me?

Also a giant caveat to this is that I cannot take my cat with me, I already have two giant dogs that I have to take out and we go walk around the park. It's not feasible to have everybody locked up in the car for an hour waiting for the walkthrough. So we go walk around the park for about an hour and I can't leave the cat in the car because it's like 90° during the day. Either way, don't leave people's doors open. I thought this was common sense.

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...

Co-signing as non-primary resident - effect on size of required downpayment & first time home buyer status?

Contemplating co-signing on a house with my mom and splitting the mortgage payment. I currently have a significantly higher income and much better credit than her. I'm looking at potential home costs and related downpayments but have difficulty using some of the online estimators. From my perspective, this would be somewhat of an investment purchase (I intend to stay in my current location in a different state and contribute to the mortgage), however, for my mom, this would be a primary residence. For purposes of the downpayment size and the type of mortgage arrangement, would it be an investment property or a primary residence? Many thanks for any help. submitted by /u/piercalicious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/km4hvl/cosigning_as_nonprimary_resident_effect_on_size/
