As I understand it Seller received offers from the OP and another prospective buyer. Seller responded with counteroffers to each of them. Buyers consequently responded with further counteroffers. It went back and forth until Seller elected to sell to one of them. Buyer and Seller then signed a contract. End of a fairly typical residential sale story.

Looking back since 1966 I have bought 14 homes and sold 11 of them. There is a "story" for each of them and I was outbid or walked away from a few others. Probably pretty typical.
