[quote=treehugger]I saw a for sale sign in front of a condo area I have been very interested in, it is adjacent to a preserve that I mountain bike and hike in frequently. Went home couldn’t find property listed on the MLS. I broke my arm mountain biking a few weeks ago and never got back to the property to look up the number on the sign…..it hit the MLS (mls #090026487) a few days ago and I immediately call on it. 22 offers 10 cash, all significantly over the asking price. The listing agent said she had held 2 open houses and had the sign out there for a few weeks, nothing. If I had got to her last week I could have had it at the asking price. As soon as it hit the MLS it exploded. My question is (once I stop kicking myself for not calling the first day I saw the sign) is there any way to find out about these kind of deals before they hit the mls? Or is it just sheer luck?[/quote]
Nice find, and a good deal. The only draw back are the power lines. But otherwise, great location.
