Someone dropped a house in my area to 225k and I thought the same. Someone bought it and sold it for 310k 2 months later. Someone people get hard up for money.

All I can think is maybe a small developer bit off more than they can chew

I'll call the listing agent tomorrow. There is another lot that's right down the street that has identical pricing and price movement other than the last 9K drop. Even on the same dates

You didn't give much information but I'd start here.

Call the realtor to get the story then call a different realtor to get that story. Meet the realtor/s at the property and stay there a while, try to go around 5-6 so people can see you there. Go back the next day same time you were there and saw people then talk to them about the lot.
And/or. Just go investigate, hit the courthouse and look thru the details/look for easements/liens/ past liens. Check the obvious like floodzone, insurance rates in the area, cost to get utilities to the home, crime, property tax, and especially make sure it wasn't an old dump or other things that could be a problem.

That last lot might be the dump for the contractor when he built all of his houses. Talk to the old homeowners, they might know.
