I know you did not ask me but I must point out that we don´t know what the contingent price is.

It could be higher than asking.

I don´t have inside info.

Also, the seller probably does not care what price it sells for as long as the seller´s lender accepts it.

One of my last short listings had an offer accepted within 2 hrs of going live.

The problem with the angry taxpayer argument is that we have not had the relevant strings attached to the money we give them.

As an agent, I don´t read the bailout package notices when I list a property. My client is the seller, not the bank or uncle sam.
