As a follow-up to the above, in most states I believe final sales prices are a matter of public record (recorded documents). Keep an eye on the place on Zillow; if someone else got it, it'll show up in a month or two as "recent sales" in the area and you can often find out the REAL sales price through the court or recorder (don't trust Zillow's report of the sales price, they're quite inaccurate in my expreriences, you'll need the actual data from the court). If it turns out that it was sold to someone else for less than your offer, someone (or several someones) could be in VERY deep caca.

I'm wondering if her telling you to keep your price low and then "oh someone else got it, gosh darn" is a way of (for example) allowing a friend of hers getting it for less and not arousing your suspicions since you simply think you got outbid now. Maybe I'm being a conspiracy theorist here, but I smell a rat and don't like to let things like this go - and I LOVE catching people pulling stuff like this... Just something to keep an eye on. Probably was a simple case of getting outbid, maybe even due to an (unprovable) back room deal but maybe not - and if not, you'll have the last laugh for sure.
