My recently sold house is back on the market, 5 months later

I was going to say 1920
Since 2020 there have been a couple properties that have sold 20 times in that period to now, really not sure of the point
4300 sq ft lot? Dang. My driveway alone is like 5x that
I sold my old place mostly because I needed more outdoor room. That place was about 26,000 sq ft.
New place is about 200,000.

That'll probably be around 1.2-1.5 in my area if it has a 8/10 school or better. To be honest it is always the land and the school, and if it is in a good area this would have been remodeled or torn down rebuild a long time ago instead of in this condition. if torn down rebuild back to 1800sqft it would have been a 2.5M house.wait for the Cali. folks to chime in, or Seattle...prolly 2 mil
It really depends where you send your kids to. The private school I went to was worse than the public one my kids are going to. You really have to pay it one way or another (expensive school district or private school tuition).
I'd reach pit to the realtor and explain that you were the previous owner and the listing is inaccurate.

That doorway to the family room if you will, reminds me of many houses I rented while in college/grad school in Albany NY.
I just googled 2 of them--1 was built 1892, the other, 1921. First one Zillow says 95k, the second 233k. Different parts of town, but both are 2 family which was common up there.
One day, while living in the 2nd home, someone knocked and said they were an insurance adjustor here to see the fire damage. I said what fire damage? And I think it's funny, when she said, "Can I come in?" I thought, I don't like the slumlord anyway, "Yes you can."
Don’t try and intervene. The lies told in current sales listing could be blamed on you if this person is shifty.
Or you can homeschool for free and live where you want. An often overlooked 3rd option...
Huge pieces of wood do that after they have been drying for 120 some years.
I find that fir structural beams up here commonly crack along the neutral plan in the middle of the beam. I found a way to deal with the cosmetic damage.
1. Fill the crack with Lepage PL 400 Sub-floor adhesive or equivalent so it doesn’t quite rise above the surface of the beam. It doesn’t have to be perfect and gaps are OK.
2. Let it cure for 3 days.
3. Take a plane and scrape any of the dried epoxy that rises above the wood surface.
4. Buy a can of Lepage plastic wood or equivalent and cover the dried epoxy.
5. Let dry a day.
6. Use a sander and sand the plastic wood to be level with the beam.
7. Stain the entire beam with a solid dark stain of your choice. I find it will not crack again and looks pretty good. At least, potential buyers will not freak out about the cracks.

100% normal. Even old growth DF will do that.
Just because a house in built someplace that gets a lot of snow doesn't mean that you are going to have an adequate amount of space to put in when you are shoveling it out of the way.
Homeschool is not free. You need a capable housewife or househusband to tutor them. Most people are not trained to do it right.
I think a template was pulled to create listing and needs some tweaks. The EV hookup is dead simple if 240V exists in garage but who wants to explain that. Also it differs if you own Tesla vs other makers what plugs into it.
It does appear renovated to me , again details of exact one not specific.
