I'll give you a 4) possibility: bidder was a shill, but afterwards bank realized the price was going nowhere but down for a while. You'd be better off getting a house which was suitable for your family because it would be easier to rent/sell and you'd have a choice about which to live in. I had friends who made a living that way, who included, before my time, Pauline Kael. You are better off waiting until prices stop falling.

I've been wondering why auctioned houses were still on the market or unoccupied, with the sign still up, months after I thought they were sold at the auction. I thought there must be some horrible reason so wouldn't look at them a second time. Glad to see your explanation.
