The owners aren't showing the house in Island Trees because of a death in the family. It's been taken off the market, but still on mls. It's a short sale though, so I don't know how they took it off since it isn't their decision. It sounds very fishy.
Our bid was accepted. We had to go a little higher. Ended up going to 275,000
Timing is everything! Great price Congratulations
Now all you need is that inspection asap (we have someone here on the forum you might want to talk to) and off to contract you go...

FYI, a short sale merely indicates that that lender is willing to negotiate; the current owners retain the right to decide in this case.
My parent's Levitt house had a shed roof dormer for the 2nd floor bathroom.
(I just Google earthed the house to make sure I was remembering correctly.)
Cost wise, the shed roof is less expensive to frame as opposed to the reverse gable.
So I guess you went with the number I suggested($265,000) then ended up at $275? I hope everything pans out for you.
Congrats!

Unfortunately, some properties are listed as short sales when the owner has not yet even approached the lender to see if they might approve it. When dealing with short sales always find out where they are in the negotiation process before proceding.

Why do real estate agents list them that way if the lender has not even been approached? Isn't that a dishonest thing to do?
