Remember the movie The Cooler? In that film, a down-on-his-luck type is hired by a casino to "cool off" a hot gambler, simply by standing near the guy at the tables... In a reverse-cooler sense, I have had the odd fortune this week of writing not one, but two offers on homes (different homes, different buyers) that had been on the market for a long time. In both cases, another offer came in between the time we looked at the home and the time we submitted the offer. Not competing offers per se, just the odd timing that comes with a buyer looking favorably at a home... then a day or so later submitting an offer, only to find that another offer had been submitted (and accepted) by the sellers just a day earlier... If this happens a third time in the next few days, I'm buying a lottery ticket!

That is the story of a changing market. Wait long enough and they are gone.

Patrick, it must be the "either" in the air or something. My last sale had been on the market for 2 years with no offers and then suddenly I had a primary and a backup.

Not only that, but it seems that everyone will be "on" the same property for a few days and then it will be a different one that everyone wants to know about.
