Make insulting offer or pass?

There’s a couple of house my wife and I have been eyeing since last year. They were both listed around the end of summer and are still on the market. They both started at $450k and now sit at $425k and $395. They are both old farm houses from the early 1800s but have been completely renovated.

The one at $395k is in a more desirable school district and area but doesn’t come with a garage or storage of any kind. At what point does an offer become insulting and shouldn’t even have bothered with it. I’m factoring in having to build a garage and probably wouldn’t want to offer more than $300k for it.

The $425 house has a nice outside setting but sits at a country rd intersection that dump trucks go up and down all day long with their Jake brakes. I probably wouldn’t offer more than $350k since it does come with a barn and we really like the outside of it.

Are these insulting offers or should we just pass? Other houses in the areas have sold for much less in the past year than what they are listed at.

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
