NOrmally, I hate this sort of thing, but I would actually recommend getting on some "realtor's automatic email update list". I allowed this to happen to me after interfacing with a fairly pushy realtor, and I ended up benefitting! I saw a price drop on a lot of 10k dollars and then I was the "pushy" one, practically running into the realtors office to submit my offer. This is how I ended up buying a lot that I didnt "really know where it was". By the time the other realor's even realized the price drop, the lot already had an offer on it. My plan was to put in an even lower offer, and then when they countered, I was going to then go and "look at my lot" and make an actual decision. AS is so often the case, "my plan" was thwarted when my offer was unexpectedly accepted, and then I had a few anxiety attacks, but ultimately decided "it was meant to be". So, now I am the proud owner of a lot in Orchidland with the SSPP already paid!
