We found this house that has sat idle for a year. We loved it, has family history, we put a bid on it. Apparently, out of nowhere somebody else is interested, puts a bid on. Sellers agent tells us we're going to do a better and best for the bank, so we offered over the asking price and agreed to pay the closing costs. Our offer went in first (thats what she said atleast) and then two weeks later, we got outbid.
Here's my first part of my question...one day she said we were first, the next day she said they were first...she said she held onto to our offer until the other bidders turned theres in (is that legal). Anyways, the whole situation is weird. Do you think this lady screwed us out of this deal somehow? she was so wishy washy.
Next...somehow we got outbidded...so what do we do now? We really need a house. We looked at two other ones and one was sold the week before and the other one isn't in liveable condition. Is there a still a chance we could get our first house?
Thanks, any advice would be great
