My lender mentioned a new 40 year loan term that makes the monthly payment way lower than a 30 year. I know it means i pay way more interest over time but is this a legit way to get into a house today or am i just going to be stuck with zero equity for the first decade?

We did a pocket listing and immediately got an offer. Should we accept it?

We did a pocket listing because we wanted to list at the top end of the recommended price options. We immediately had a showing and an offer at full list price. While we're happy to not have a million showings and open houses, this is literally the first person to walk through our house. Should we wait for more offers? Or do we list the home on the open market and see what happens? We're also happy to have gotten our desired price and maybe we should just take this gift?
