So we are fixing to close on my parents home here in a few days and looking for some input

Mom and dad have passed on and we are in the process of clearing the estate. Without getting into specifics I'm super sad about having to sell the house but it's what needs done. I'm not gonna live there and renting isn't something I even remotely want to entertain.

The home is a rural house in NW PA. While not on a back road it's definitely in the middle of Amish country. I was considering leaving a note for 2x purposes. One, to wish them the best of luck in the future and that I would think mom and dad would be happy. Mom and Dad loved having kids around the place, and the young couple buying the home have 3x young kids.

Also I want to detail specifics on how "I think" things are setup as far as the heating works for the house (house has an outside wood boiler and a propane furnace). Additionally wanted to mention things about the neighbors (good stuff) and also some close family friends that are Amish that might be able to render construction services etc if they would need.

Property was also an active farm for 50+ years. On the wooded part of the property I know there has to be some wire fencing still out there that was never reclaimed. I don't recall there being a part of the sellers disclosure for this type of thing. I would hate for somebody to go ripping through there on a ATV and find that the hard way.

Thoughts/opinions?

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/
