It's just moving money around, sure, but it's no coincidence it's being offered now, it's being offered specifically in response to current economic conditions. 

This would coincide with their lease ending.  

I do not think people want to buy in this market unless they can afford to play the game like investors or it coincides with down sizing, retiring, or moving for work.

The trick of "other offers" is the oldest in the book and it is some coincidence that the minute your offer is in, after months of no action, several offers are now being reviewed - smells fishy (looks like a duck, smells like a duck . .must be)
