Okay, I think we’re offically being jacked around by the short sale house’s bank. Our offer expired yesterday, so waiting till today was already pushing it. We STILL didn’t hear a peep from them today! So how do I know the bank didn’t deliberately drop its asking price $30K just to bait people into looking and starting a bidding war? And how long are we supposed to sit here until the bank decides to pick an offer? And what if the bank holds us out until we lose the other #1 house, and someone finally offers a lot more on this #2 house so we just get a phone call one day where the bank goes, “Sorry, we just got a better offer we’re going with instead of yours”? Then we’re assed out. We’re gonna have to figure out a deadline for holding on.

Speaking of the #1 house, it’s the exact opposite of the #2 house. Its agent called our agent today for a polite status check, asking where we stood on our #2 house. Our agent explained we’re still waiting. Our agent said the other agent could’ve threatened to take another offer if it comes along, could’ve said we’re jerking them around too long, but he didn’t. He just asked how our situation looked, that’s all.
