Hi,
Just a quick question.
I was recently bidding on a house and there was only myself and one other bidder.
I was outbid. The auctioneer called and said that the other bidder would probably get the house if I didn’t bid again and I explained I understood but I not bidding again and to let me know if anything changes. This took place Christmas week.
Today the auctioneer rang and said the other bidder had pulled out and was I still interested.
I said yes. They tried to get to match the winning bid. Which I said no. They called me back with a new figure meeting in the middle from my highest bid to the winning bid.
My question is, if there was only 2 bidders, why would I pay the top end of the bids?
House info
Asking 220
Winning bid 233
My bid 231
Would I not review my final bid and offer closer to the 220?
Any help would be great
Thank you
