Time to move again - what's the deal with RE agents?

We were given notice that the owners want to move back into their house. Second time since 2011. We've been here about 2.5 years. Have until some time in December. We hope. The property manager has gone a little wonky on us, and didn't give us the required amount of time that they weren't going to renew the lease (which expired at the end of last month) but said he might be able to go month to month till December.
Pretty tough to find a useable place with enough space for me to work in, here around Seattle. Large garage needed.

Looking at places on Zillow and other sites, driving by to take a look, and sending messages and phone calls, we can't hardly get anyone to contact us back for a showing.
What's the deal!?

I've made offer of more than asking prices, too.


I put in an application on one place who actually showed me the house. Nice large 740 sq ft garage. Tiny house, barely big enough for me and my own stuff. House was still available, they said. Applied, then contacted to confirm they received it. Turns out, they were signing a lease. Would have been nice to know before I spent to $ for the application!

Took me six months last time to find place with the workspace.


I'd buy a place, but I won't qualify for a mortgage loan.
