And we wonder why there are so many disputes and lawsuits in real estate. Attention to detail is rapidly becoming a lost art...

You bargain with him and he’ll jack up the price a few tens of thousands just to make you happy.</i> Great catch, <b>Sean</b>. I've actually known this to happen to someone. He was trying to buy a foreclosure from some government agency and after his offer they raised the price on their counter-offer. The house was listed on redfin but the listing was removed. Propertyshark shows no title docs on file which means the owner's been there a while - with a $350K assessment I would guess late 1980s. Clearly someone sitting on a pile of equity with an expanding hole in the bottom. But - it's a quarter-acre lot! That means it really is a free house! It’s even better: Seller willing to negotiate -$27,000 off the price. You bargain with him and he’ll jack up the price a few tens of thousands just to make you happy.
