Trying to understand the real estate market and failing miserably. Shannon put a bid on a townhouse. After a week of waiting she was finally told last night that the seller chose another bid. The bid wasn't as strong as Shannon's but the buyer will allow the seller to remain in the house and then rent it back. In other words, an investor bought it. Shannon is now wondering how she will ever be able to buy a house in investors get all the good deals. I feel so sad for her. She's very upset now but her realtor (who is 70 if he's a day and just as sweet as he can be) got her right back out there looking at other houses. Hopefully, something even better will come along but the whole process is convoluted and frustrating.
In Wisconsin that would be illegal. Just sayin'...

another way of looking at this, is that it was not meant to be ....
That's what we told her but it was a big decision for her just to make the offer and then to wait a week to find out she wasn't chosen hit her hard. She can't understand how she can chalk it up to a learning experience. It's not like she hasn't had to deal with adversity, in her final semester of college, a professor blind-sided her by failing her without giving her any warning in a class that she worked harder than she had in any of her other classes. Since she already had a start date with her job, she had to give up the few weeks of relaxation she had planned before starting her job and take a summer semester class (which she aced). Anyway, it's hard to watch your kids go through things like these and not be able to do anything to help.

I don't understand any of it but my reaction was keel hauling would be too good for the seller. If that was the direction she wanted to go in when she put the house on the market, she should have said so.

What? A seller has a right to sell to anyone they choose... unless you can prove some type of race or religious reason the decision was made.

If a seller puts out a house for sale and gets an offer that is the asking price, then they cannot take a second offer that is less but has some form of "deal" with it. At least it's that way in WI. I had a house for sale that I got two offers for and was going to go for the second because the first wanted me to remove an above ground pool. However, since I had countered with them first, I had to go with their acceptance of the counter.

Wow, I never heard of that. There is more to a sales agreement than the bottom line price... there are many other terms.

Although, that sounds like it might be a bit different. If you made a counter offer and it is accepted you can't then change your mind. That makes more sense than the fact that you couldn't go with a lower offer.
