Home Price Just Reduced

I just got a call from my real estate lady and apparently a house that I like a lot has been reduced by $7,500. I was considering making an offer on the house at the old price but I thought I would have all kinds of time since the house has been on the market forever. I told the agent I would love to get in the house again when I get back from Florida on Thursday and she said someone else was considering making an offer early in the week but she would "try to stall them". Just my abysmal luck. I wonder if this just a tactic she is using to get me to make an offer or the real deal? Buying a house is way too hard. I wonder if my parents will let me move back in?
