Update on the condo that won't accept my 40 pound labradoodle (MA)

EDIT: I thought I made this clear enough but apparently I didn’t, I’m not buying this property.

I wrote a post about trying to buy a condo from a friend which is really just half of a house. The HOA is two people. They had a problem with my dog being over 35 pounds, but all communication was done through my friend and they made me promise not to contact the other owner directly, which is a red flag. The update is, I insisted on speaking to the other owner, and I was told they refuse to talk to me at all until the sale is finalized.

Is this a normal way for a co-owner in this situation to behave? It seems like a huge problem to me. I told my lawyer I'm withdrawing from the property. I have never bought any property before and this is my first attempt trying to get a condo. I decided to give up on this idea and get an apartment until I learn more about how condos are supposed to work.

PS I got a lot of comments on my thread about my dog being an ESA. These comments all seem to believe an ESA is just a fake service animal and has no legal protections. This is false, ESAs do not have the same rights as service dogs and but they do have legal protections. In the state of Massachusetts they are both classified as "assistance animals." I got an ESA letter years ago from my therapist who I have seen in person for years, my dog is highly trained and was trained specifically as at therapy dog. My friend was pushing me to legally force my dog onto the property, which is possible but I do not want to deal with that conflict. So I do not need any advice regarding the ESA issue but I just thought it was annoying that every comment I got on the matter was both judgmental and incorrect.

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/
