expired REO listing

[Kathleen Frankovich]

Hello. I am a newbie here but excited about finding my first property. I was keeping an eye on a listing that was a bank owned property as we get our rehab team together. Today when I checked the MLS, I saw that it had expired. I think this might be a good thing but I'm not sure. It had been on the market for 4 months. Can I still make on offer on it or do I have to wait and see what the bank plans on doing with it? Can I contact that bank directly and make an offer? Thanks for any advice.
