What’s the reason behind it? The lenders have learned, they used to list the property at a price close to what was owed on the debt, that didn’t work. Now, what they are trying to do is to lower the listing price and start a bidding war, usually with a perfect property like this, multiple offer will happen and the bank can get rid of this property in less than 10 days. It is listed at around $320k, it should close around $350k
It DOES NOT mean that you can’t get it at a low price, some lenders play the FIRST COME FIRST SERVE game, if you are the first one offering full price with good down payment, you can get it at the low listing price.
