Totally understand you - when you find something you really like, gotta go for it! (and hopefully get the seller to shave the price a little, or a lot.)

On that same site, it shows pending sales actually picked up a bit at month end. Apparently there is a $5.9 MM pending sale in the pipe that should bump up "average price" this month perhaps(?)
