Vet my offer (too aggressive?)

My wife and I currently live with our two young kids in a 3BR that’s 1074 sq ft. We have a bit of a sweetheart deal ($1050/month), but can’t have pets, and would like more space.

Twice we toured a new build that’s been on the market for 300+ days. There are four identical units that started out at $390k and now are at $365k. 2000 sq ft total (1400 finished; 600 unfinished basement).

We both like the home and feel we could be happy, but it’s also not amazing (cramped kitchen/dining/living; no pre-plumb in the basement for a bathroom, small lot, etc).

I’m thinking of offering/asking this:
-$365 (asking price)
-$10k in closing costs/rate buy down
-Builder frames, roughs in electrical, insulates, and does the drywall. Basically a “white box” finish, where we could do the paint and flooring.

My good friend, Gemini AI, tells me the builder will be desperate and should at least consider this. I also know, however, that Gemini can be an idiot.

Thoughts?

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/
