After the offer is sent to the bank...

I know it can take 45 days to 6 months to approve a short sale home. I'm wondering, after your offer is accepted by the seller and sent to the bank, how likely is it that someone else will come along and outbid you? They do continue to review offers even while in the process of accepting your offer, correct?

We offered full price for the house, $109,000, with seller paying $3,000 in closing costs. Closing costs are estimated to be $4,000-5,000. We are absolutely in love with this little house, and I'm so terrified of the thought of someone with more money than us coming along and offering more for it.

I wish it was a shorter process.

Re: After the offer is sent to the bank...

  • Generally the banks will only look at any other offers when the first one falls through.. I'm a Realtor and deal with it all the time. The agent will hold onto any other offers, but they dont submit them until the bank cancels the first one, or the buyers from the first one walks away. EVERY bank is different though. Good luck!!
  • We put a condition in our offer that the bank could not collect other offers until it decided on ours.

     

    My realtor said that the default action is that other bids would be allowed, and if a better offer came in, the bank would tell you "no" before moving on to the next bid.
