I don’t think I’m particularly emotional about the property but the situation is that I’m the first offer on another short sale that I’m not really sure I want to purchase due to location. The other short sale is going to close soon and I need to make a decision on if I want to wait for the new one or go with the other one.
The payoff of getting the new short sale results in higher happiness, but there would still be some happiness in getting the previous sale. I was thinking that the price of anarchy would be high if I ended up with neither but I think you bring up a good point in that the price of anarchy may not be so high even if I get neither of them.
