I've just made an offer on a property on Siesta Key today. The seller has sent signals that she would accept my price... if she did, we will be in town doing the inspection next weekend

Good LUCK!! We close on our house on the 16th--finally. Buyers market?? Uhh yeah, if you know how to play the game I guess. We lost 4 contracts before this one went through. They were all short sales! I really hope this one turns out for ya, yipeeee!

Thanks SoFLGal, I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Oobie119, absolutely a buyer market, this one was not even a short sale, so no competing bids at the moment.
BH, I was there in April, and did not want to leave then. This will be our chance to see Sarasota in the summer heat.

Good luck and I hope you get it. I am due to close this Wednesday so fingers crossed they don't come up with something else they want and need from me. I've just been a crazed faxing fool of late.

Update: We did not get the property. This time, the seller underhandedly used our offer to attract something higher. We thought we were being nice by allowing them an extra day "to consult with family in the UK"; that time was probably used to gather the other offer. What a waste of time dealing with dishonest people!

Playing devil's advocate here, so please don't get mad. If you were the seller, wouldn't your ONLY interest be getting the highest price for your property?

Are you sure they accepted another offer? Did they give you the opportunity to counter? It would seem to me if the seller wanted the highest price and they had another offer they would have asked you for a counter or your highest offer. Maybe you would have offered more than the other.

How is that dishonest? Obviously the property was worth more to someone else. You weren't under contract. Seller did nothing wrong. Hope you find something you love more.
