--That is a great idea. I've not heard of anyone doing that, but you could be starting something big.
In my experience, when we bought our new home in DeLuna, most of the brand new homes would pop up for a few days of showings and then it was basically a lottery system to who gets to buy the home on the day when it was being released for sale.

If you were picked first and decided you didn't want it, it would go to the 2nd person that was selected. Some of the homes on my street had something like 8-10 people that had an offer to buy. I heard it was even more people in Richmond on most home sales. There was no offer/counteroffer or asking for conditions involved.
