Default Re: Bait & Switch?

We had an experience where we were looking and thinking about a few houses we'd seen, and in the space of 1 hr one of the ones we'd seen had sold to someone who came in after us. We found out when we said we wanted to purchase that one. We bought a house up the block - same model, same neighborhood, very close to the same price - an hour later.
This was in May of 2005, when the market was really booming. I think TV was selling 400 homes a month or some incredible number like that.
