My last post ended with me losing the house due to being outbid. In a strange turn of events we may have won the bidding war without ever submitting the highest offer.

I won’t bore you with the details of property, inspections, financing, etc. However, I think the details of the bidding process are quite interesting.

To quote a friend of mine, when asked how we much we should bid on the house:
