I don’t know why you get giddy about it, you profited and moved on. Other people bought, it’s like a game of musical chairs.. but the person who gets the chair in the end loses.
It’s not like the person tried to screw you like my case. I almost foolishly bought a small condo (we just moved here, everyone was telling us that is the way to go, no interest etc. etc. is the CA way to buy a house) price was over 400k, we would have to stretch and have a foolish loan to pay that. We bid 370, knowing that prices are going down.. it went back and forth.. they wouldn’t go past 390, we wouldn’t go past 385. They told us to shove off..
They later begged us to come back.. but by then I had discovered this site, and knew I wasn’t going to be buying for years.
Those places are now listed for 310, who knows if they will sell for that..
