Agent Says there are Other Offers
I'm looking at a duplex, and decided to reach out to the seller agent to represent me to try to get a better deal. I think the property is about 10% overpriced. The agent said there are other offers, but I think he's just trying to get me to put one in myself. He mentioned they accepted a house sale contingency offer, but are backing out of that one. I don't think this is true because the house never went "under contract" on the MLS.
Is this a common occurrence where agents make up ghost offers? If an offer is accepted with a house sale contingency will it be shown as still available on the MLS?

Why do you care? Make the offer that makes sense to you. Whether there are ten or zero offers.
