I LOVE this area as its more wide open then the congested Seattle Corridor. 

What were the list's selection criteria?

As in selecting a doctor to perform a serious procedure you wouldn't hire a podiatrist to perform an Aortic Valve Replacement in your heart would you? 

While not perfect, it's widely accepted as the gold standard in small business reputation management.

@Kim Book How did you select an area that gave you the response rate you received?

Here are a few recommendations for you:Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsIf you wish to tag someone in the conversation on the forum, type @ followed by their name and then select that person below.

Know the market you select well and pick out the best locations.  

It's probably still on the market because the seller is waiting until April 2nd (just like the listing agent told you), and which time he/she will review multiple offers and either select the best one, or ask for highest and best from all offerors.From what I'm hearing, it sounds like there are already multiple strong offers (as expected), it will go well above asking, and you have very little chance of getting the property under contract at $200k or less.
