Re: Bait & Switch?
Hard to tell if that is bait and switch or simply real estate. YOu can tell if the first house was on the market and is now sold....so it must have been a good deal and someone either placed a hold on it (I think these have 72 hour kickers) or it sold. With the 72 hour kicker, just check back and see if they signed a contract on the deal, if not the house will come back on the market. Believe me the agent will want his/her commission so I doubt he/she is kidding about it not being on the market for whatever reason. If there is a kicker clause you can always offer a backup contract if you are serious!
AS far as the second house , well they never look as good as the first and they normally cost more, but you dont have to buy..simply keep looking until something you like and an afford comes your way! If you are uncomforatble with your agent...change agents!
