Made a cash offer and looking for some advice on a next move.

I’ll start with saying I REALLY like/want this house, but not at all costs. It checks all my boxes and then some.
Located in WA state in a town where market is softening, but this house is an outlier. It’s in a very desirable neighborhood where houses rarely go on the market.
It’s been on the market for only 11 days
Listed at $365k
2bd/1 bath, ~1800 sq ft and there’s a lot of potential for adding value in a neighborhood that can support it. (Houses next door are estimated at over 1M)
Beautiful 1920s craftsman, in decent condition but needs some work and updating, (refinishing floors, will probably need a new roof in 5 yrs or so). I can do a lot of the work myself. I know with old houses things are bound to be discovered during inspection.
I made a cash offer for $350k and sellers agent said there was another offer that came in and is asking if I want to change my offer.
Thoughts on what I should counter with?

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/
