So our Realtor dropped off our offer yesterday and called us with the news that there were 13 other offers on the property. It turned out ours was highest, but there was another one with a shorter escrow. They countered that offer, so the house is not ours. We'll be the backup offer, but I'm realistic that we won't get it.

So should we keep looking? Are there any other properties we might be interested in?

We were driving through the neighborhood a week or two ago, and we saw an old dumpy house for sale. We've been looking to move up to a larger lot, and perhaps an old house that we could fix up. So when we saw the price on this one, we were flabbergasted. It's well below what anything is going for in this neighborhood, so we actually decided to take the plunge. Turns out that it is a probate sale, and sealed bids are being accepted. We put on in this morning, and our Realtor found out that there were 13 bids on the property so far! Our bid was WAY over the asking price, but I bet everyone else's is too, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens...
