Zillow shows homes avail that are pending or off the market vs Realtor.com. I'm wondering why so I can decide to limit my search to 1 site. Is it Zillow? Realtors having to change the status on every search website would be a pita. If I were a realtor, only updating a collective preferred site is what I would do too. submitted by /u/Rrreally [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1nez53k/zillow_slow_to_update_to_pending_vs_realtorcom_do/

I'm selling my house and closing is on Sep 25th. The apartment I'm moving to is not gonna be ready until Oct 1st. I can crash at a friend's house for a week, no problem. But what do I do with my stuff? I could put them in storage, but that means hiring movers twice. Once to move from old place => storage, and then a week later from storage => new place. That could get very expensive. What do people do in such a scenario? submitted by /u/Bourne2Play [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1newfc8/how_to_move_when_you_have_to_leave_the_old_place/

Australia’s housing market is now worth $11.6 TRILLION… bigger than America’s per capita 🤯 The ABS just revealed Aussie property is valued at $11.6 trillion. At first glance that might not mean much, but here’s where it gets crazy. The US housing market is worth around $60 trillion with a population of 330 million. Australia has only 27 million people and yet our market is already one fifth the size of America’s. When you break it down per person, Aussies are carrying one of the most expensive housing markets on the planet. Wages are flat, home ownership rates are falling, and first home buyer schemes seem to just push prices higher instead of fixing affordability. https://www.smartpropertyinvestment.com.au/first-property-buyer/26916-how-to-furnish-your-investment-property-for-maximum-returns submitted by /u/Equivalent_Salad_569 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ne2js5/australias_housing_market_is_now_worth_116/

Why do investors keep over styling their properties like they're selling Kim kardashians holiday house. Tenants don't care about your aesthetic, they care about comfort, durability, and whether the furniture will survive a year without falling apart. Honestly feels like half the money people blow on furnishing is wasted. A solid bed, a decent sofa, and a table that doesn't wobble are all anyone really wants. The rest just makes landlords feel fancy while tenants are the ones dealing with flimsy junk. So what's the play here? & Go cheap and replace as needed? Or spend big upfront hoping it lasts? And does furnishing actually move the needle on rent, or is it just another investor delusion? Keen to hear some experiences because everyone I've spoken to swears their way is the only way. https://www.smartpropertyinvestment.com.au/first-property-buyer/26916-how-to-furnish-your-investment-property-for-maximum-returns submitted by /u/Equivalent_Salad_569 [link]...

Hi! We are already quite close to buying this house, however I would like some outside opinions.

Has anyone here recently used an iBuyer, such as Opendoor, to get a cash offer on a home worth $1.5-2 million? Do these types of buyers only offer on cheaper homes? How far below FMV do they normally offer?

Been in my Austin spot for a few years now, and with all the wild weather - hail one day, floods the next - I'm starting to think about stuff that protects the house without a full reno. Gutters seem key since bad ones lead to foundation cracks, which kill resale around here. Mine were rusting out from the 90s install, letting water run down the walls and pool up. Asked on Nextdoor and got pointed to a couple companies, tried Austin Gutter King for their warranty thing - 15 years on install, which is longer than most. They did copper on the front for that durable look against the sun, plus guards so I don't climb up every fall for leaves. Install was half a day, no hassle, and it actually made the exterior pop a bit more. But curious what y'all prioritize: roofs, HVAC, or something else? Does this kinda upgrade show up in comps, or is it just peace of mind? submitted by /u/Karate_Andii [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1nd9e7...

I was shown a home by the buyer’s agent who may also act as my agent although I will probably find my own. (I’ve posted about that here recently but took it down due to confidentiality concerns). During the showing, the agent pointed out a highly visible, long crack in the floor which is definitely wider than hairline, saying it’s been there for for years without much change, maybe has gotten a bit wider. That it was there before the current owner. He said it’s due to a crack in the foundation. He also showed me a whole house reverse osmosis water filtration system and another filtration system to remove silt from the well water. The seller’s disclosure basically says “no” to all questions and provides no information. It says the seller is not aware of any crack in the foundation and that there is no water treatment system in the house, including no reverse osmosis nor other filtration system. I’ve emailed the agent pointing out these glaring inconsistencies in the disclosure. Hav...

I was chatting with a couple of agents recently, and they all agreed on something surprising — most deals don’t fall apart because of price or negotiation. The real killers are usually: Leads that slip through the cracks because of slow follow-up Showings that never happen because of scheduling chaos Or clients who just ghost after a few conversations One agent even joked, “If I could clone myself just to text people back instantly, I’d close twice as many deals.” It got me thinking — in your experience, what’s the #1 “silent killer” that makes deals disappear before they even get a chance? submitted by /u/Pale-Rate-7349 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ncdpkm/whats_the_silent_deal_killer_in_real_estate/

We signed a home contract with Toll Brothers 7 months ago. Closing is coming up in October. Last month they reduced our floor plan’s base price by 50k. When we requested sales team to adjust our pricing or increase our incentives to match for 50k base price reduction, they are not budging. I have paid 70k deposit so far. There’s another competitive builder in the same community who is offering high dollars incentive on similar homes. We are going to talk with the manager. Will Toll Brothers help us for the 50k price reduction or should we forfeit 70k deposit and buy from the other builder? submitted by /u/Medical-Session-6629 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ncavzs/toll_brothers_negotiation_or_lose_70k_deposit/

So I've had 2 diff realtors now. Both have me put looking at houses, and we've had 10+ deals fall thru. The market is hell here, every house has a minimum of 10 doff offers, and there aren't that many houses available to even look at. Without having ours listed, we have a contengecy, but my realtor doesn't tell anyone that, she's hoping to get my house listed a week after I win an offer, and get it sold. BUT, in every instance, we have to offer OVER asking on every single house, with possibly cash on top of that, if appraisal comes in under. Then my realtor keeps saying my backup of the house doesn't sell is a program where the bank buys it for me, and I buy it from the bank, and pay a fee. I don't want to do any of these crazy deals. I just want to know, why can't I list my house to sell, with a contengecy to buy? Is that so bad? Then I would at least know how much money we are getting for our house, what we afford to get into, I don't understand w...

10 year yield has decisively moved towards 4%. If it breaks below 4%, we should see 30 year fixed mortgage rates for prime borrowers approach 6% and 6% is the magic rate to attract many new buyers into the market.

Hi everyone, I’m from Europe and I’m considering buying a property in Egypt (like an apartment or resort unit). I have no prior experience with property purchases there, and I’d really appreciate any advice. Specifically, I’m looking for tips on: • What to watch out for when buying property as a foreigner • How to make sure the contract is legit (Green Contract, ownership, etc.) • Safe ways to pay (bank transfer, installments, cash, etc.) • Any other important legal or practical things to consider If anyone has gone through this or knows someone who has, your guidance would be super helpful! Thanks a lot! submitted by /u/RosieSwiftie [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1nar56i/advice_needed_buying_property_in_egypt_as_a/

I just bought my first house for 355K a couple months ago and I KNOW I shouldn’t be worried, but I’m also genuinely curious. On Zillow, my house went up 5K since but on Redfin, it went DOWN around 25K!!! This seems like a major discrepancy and just wondering if this is normal or if I should be worried? submitted by /u/Crazy_Count6067 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1naopvx/discrepancy_with_zillow_and_redfin/

We are selling our second home all cash,no contingencies. We own the home and the title is free and clear. We are closing in 3 days. Suddenly, my neighbor filed lis pendens and injunction stating he is entitled to the proceeds because we are in a lawsuit and a judgement could be entered in his favor on Nov 10. Our lawsuit does not involve our property at all and there is no judgement entered yet. I thought a lis pendens had to involve ownership issues in real property. Our suit has no relation to our property. The buyer is aware and the title company said we can get GAP insurance as we are about to close this week. The judge granted the injunction before our hearing on Monday and the injunction states I need to put the entire proceeds of the sale in a court appointed account which I believe is illegal and if it’s tied up, I still need to pay state and federal taxes on the sale so how is this possible? I’m considering ignoring the injunction because I have every right to sell my house,...

This house is a good like 40k out of my price range, however it’s been on the market for almost 2 years and they have already gone down 96k since they originally posted it.
