Wow! What a turn of events. That's awesome!

Double and triple check that all info is correct in the contract. I am buying a condo and some details in contract did not match the closing statement. I addressed these issues with the agent and I am getting credits for their errors.

highest isnt always best. ask both buyers for their financials.

does one have to sell in order to buy?

can one put more than 20% down payment?



Agreed! We turned down an offer on our first house that was higher than another because they didnt have as much $$ to put down and we didnt want to risk issues with financing. We went back to the lower first accepted offer and they came up a bit to secure the house.

The house we are in now we were not the highest bidder. But we were the best overall buyer. More $ down, cash buyer on our house were were selling, etc.

Get the whole picture before deciding. Go back to the original buyer and say you got a higher offer that you are now considering and they should come back with their best offer....
