Canceling Contract During Contingency Period IL

I’m in the contingency process for a home in Illinois. Due to issues found during inspection and the fact that a couple substantial portions of the home not being available for inspection I advised my agent that I wasn’t interested in proceeding forward with the purchase. I was advised by my agent that in order to protect my earnest money I needed to submit my list of requests and wait for the seller’s response. I did as advised and the seller responded a couple days ago with basically no to everything. My agent asked my feelings on going forward, and I again said I wasn’t interested. Since we were so far apart I followed up the other day expecting to hear the deal feel through, but now I’m being told the seller is considering repairs and getting estimates.

I’m curious how long do I have to play this game for? I would very much like to pivot and secure some form of housing as my lease ends in a month and a half. I would have been willing to work with them if they didn’t come out with basically zero compromises and weird takes on a couple of the requested repairs. At this point, I truly don’t think I can do business with this seller. Do I just have to unilaterally refuse any compromises? Is there anything I can do to torpedo this quicker without losing my earnest money? Since this is dragging on I’m starting to think my agent is more concerned with saving their commission than my desire to not buy this house.

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/
