Very standard. The bank wants to try to get as much as they can.

Highest and best is SOP, especially if it's a HUD foreclosure.

eta: missed the part about the listing agent putting in an offer... whoops. having trouble remembering the law on that one.

HUD homes go to owner occupants first.

yea, a bunch of foreclosed homes in my previous neighborhood brought the price of my house down and I ended up having to borrow $25,000 just to sale my fricking house

There would typically be a bidding period, just like an auction. Just dependent on who all of this is going through.

very common these days.

I probably would've recommended leasing it out until the market recovers.

What do you mean by owner occupants?

People who are buying the home to live in it, not as an investment property.

Someone who plans on living in the home could offer less than someone else who is an investor and they would get dibs.

that was an idea, but I moved 11 hours away, I am ignorant of the whole lease process, and then obama got re-elected and I paniced. I dont see the housing market or the economy getting much better for quite a while.

The multiple offers/submit best offer part is common.

The listing agent submitting a bid could be shady. Some banks don't allow it. But even if the listing agent makes a bid, it doesn't really affect anything. If the agent outbids everyone in a highest and best situation, that means the agent was willing to pay more than anyone else. If your offer is higher than what the agent is willing to pay, you'll still get the house.

despite everything that's going around, home sales are up quite a bit right now, at least in Texas. It still hasn't fully recovered, obviously.

Hire a property manager, let them take care of it for you for a small cut, boom. Paying your mortgage and maybe some of your taxes while not incurring more debt.

this is where it could get interesting. either way, cash offers are usually favored.

Yeah it's pretty standard-- listing agent making an offer is fishy but you're right, who cares? If you get the house for a price you want then great, and as long as you don't NEED it then don't stress it. The house I'm in now went into contract, came back on the market on a Sunday, highest and best was due Monday night, Tuesday I was awarded the house. When they collect all the offers they analyze them all together so you're bidding blind. At signing the listing agent said that I didn't have the highest offer but I did have the best. Offering cash should help. GL

I agree. I've never heard of anyone allowing it, but I've only dealt with HUDs.
