UR as sdr mentioned at that price no way should it be listed as pending. Based on what I have seen for comps of that nature the home would go for much higher then 250k. Now perhaps they did indeed receive that much by day 2 but something tells me they did not. Someone should make a call to the LA to see why they are not even considering other offers.
Also the activity in Mira Mesa for homes of this size in this price range is very heavy. I am pretty close to this market and NEVER have I seen a short sale go pending there this quickly.
What you said does indeed make good sense and I should have used a less damning description such as abnormal.
