Hi All,
I am in a bidding process for a house in north Dublin. The house has been on the market for about 2-3 months without any offers. Last week the estate agent contacted me and informed there was a now an offer slightly below asking price. Two days later, she informed that there was another offer at the asking price. She reached out to me twice more during the week and said there was was xxx offer above asking price. So four offers in week!
It just seems abit odd to me that there is a such a sudden interest in the property within a week. Furthermore, the estate agent is putting pressure on me to make a decision quickly. Whilst I do like the property, I don't want to pay over the odds (whatever that is) by what could be potentially 'phantom' bidders.
Any thoughts on this? There is no way to check if there are other bidders I presume? Am I been too sceptical about the situation perhaps?
Thanks
