Squatter, the open market is an illusion. Right now, all those offers filling up the voicemail aren’t worth the digital space they take up. Cash offers are being thrown around with virtually no intent to perform. They regularly flake within hours of having their offer accepted. We just bought a place for a rental, of the five offers on it, we were the lowest. Why’d we get it? The two cash offers above us flaked in the first 24 hours. The seller wanted it sold and didn’t want to deal with the FHA buying process, wasn’t worth the 5% price difference.
Don’t waste your emotional energy thinking you got screwed out of this house. It’s not worth it.
As for the listing, a simpler explanation is an RE Agent, just fluffing their MLS stats.
