Housing Bill Question

Two questions on the housing bill. I'm not educated on three subject so these are just thoughts I'm looking to get answers on.

  1. It limits institutional investors to 350 new homes or less. Don't most large scale investors build ENTIRE neighborhoods ask at once that they make into rentals of 100+ homes at a time. Not buy existing homes. So wouldn't those extra homes just not get built in the first place, limiting supply even more?

My current neighborhood is 150 homes that are all rentals built by DRH. If they didn't buy the land no one would have ever built homes here.

  1. The bill doesn't push investors already with large numbers of homes to sell in X years. Many of the biggest builders are also large scale investors who build their own homes then turn around and rent them. Like DRH. They both build homes to sell and build homes to rent. Building less homes means empliying less contractors and building costs will go up. They tend to reuse the same contractors between multiple ongoing projects to keep labor costs down.

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/
