Question

Why would a bank-owned abandoned home jump up almost 30% overnight?

This house has been sitting there for a year and needs at least $60k to fix it up. In literally one day it went from $123k to $162k. WTF if it doesn't sell at 123 it's not going to sell for 162, right?

An asking price is just that. If you make them an offer for $100K they might take it. You can say you would pay $162 if it were in pristine condition but want $60K in "allowances" to do the needed repairs. What has prob happened is a similar house in their inventory or nearby sold for a higher amount which changed the "comp" forr the house you are interested in.

Sounds like 2 or more parties are now interested.

You would have to ask the agent. They really do not care if it sells or not.
