Got ya Jim… Hmmm a puzzler indeed. I agree with you that they probably bought time with the lender, maybe they had documentation to show the lender that indeed they were in escrow. Again, I can only assume the sale was done outside the MLS because there is no active or pending status for this address, just a bunch of expireds. I am assuming the deed transfered to an individual or married couple as opposed to reconveyance company or the like?
