I’m a first-time home buyer, and I’m a bit confused about what’s going on. We signed a purchase contract Thursday night (so technically Friday), and now it’s late Saturday night—basically Sunday.
The listing agent has been difficult to work with from the beginning. At one point, she was rejecting calls from my realtor who was just trying to get a status update after we hadn’t heard anything. Eventually, their side asked if we could extend our offer through the following day—but we declined, since we wanted to move forward on another home if this one didn’t work out.
Then, somewhat unexpectedly, the sellers ended up signing our offer that same night. So as of Thursday night, the contract was signed by both parties and our earnest money was submitted and cashed.
Since then, I’ve been keeping an eye on the MLS to see if the listing changes to “pending,” but it hasn’t. There was an open house scheduled for Saturday (today), so my realtor reached out to confirm whether it was canceled—but got no response.
I ended up driving by during the open house and saw multiple people inside touring the home. It really threw me off. Why are they still showing the house when we have a fully executed contract in place and they’ve already cashed our earnest money?
Is this typical? Should I be concerned?
Our offer was over asking and waived inspections, and we were the only offer in play when they signed. We have lost out on 8 other houses over the last 6 months so we have been getting a lot more aggressive in our offers. I just don’t understand what’s going on here.
