Should I return to a withdrawn offer?

If you went into a bidding war and withdrew, but the unit is still available, then it sounds like either all the other bidders withdrew as well (possibly for the same reasons as you did) or never existed to begin with.

If it is still on the market, why not? Your broker should be able to work with the seller's broker.

FWIW, I would strongly considering talking to a trusted friend or advisor before doing anything further. Sounds like you have deal heat if you are trying to justify away problems with the financials. I would suggest getting the advice of someone you trust and who has your best interests in mind.

TeamM has a good suggestion. Aside, is there any thing in the financials which bothers you? Long overdue maintenance payments from shareholders will bother me a lot. Low cash not so much for expensive manhattan apartment as it can be easily fixed with assessment. Just get a financing and funding contingency. Naturally you can lower your price to account for poor financials.

Yes absolutely. The sellers must be desperate now. Love it when "talk of multiple offers" turn out to be false. If they were real it's even worse if everyone backed out.

So yes, def return to the offer. Lower your offer price this time. Hire a buyer's broker who will give you good advice and discreetly give you a closing costs to further lower your basis. Hauseit is a good place to get started, they work with some pretty top tier firms that offer "private label" discounts.

Remember, nothing is binding until a contract is signed. None of it is real until you sign!

* typo ... discreetly give you a rebate to cover your closing costs to further lower your basis.

Good luck!
