Anyways is it normal to not hear back on an offer for 3 days? That seems like a long time. I thought it was 24-48 hours normally.

Honestly here id expect some sort of indication at about 12-24hrs. In fact all of our offers on properties have been presented within 2-3hrs and either counted or accepted within the 24hr mark.
Our current property - we viewed at around 2pm Tuesday (along with 8 other houses), put an low ball offer in on that evening, it was countered same day, we accepted at about 9pm - SAME DAY! Yes we we are crazy but it worked.
It was conditional on:
* finance (had been pre approved already but the bank still had to confirm that the property we were buying was actually worth what we were paying)
* insurance (lots of properties here we are unable to get insurance due to the earthquakes)
* builders report (which was completed the very next day)
*council LIM (land memoranda something-a-rather - basically checking that there was no plans to put a road through the yard, checking sewerage etc, checking that the neighbors weren’t going to be building a 10’storyed appartment block etc).
We had two weeks to get all of that sorted and “go unconditional”. We went unconditional in 5 business days and we were able to move the possession date by two weeks (we did possession 4 weeks from offer accepted which is usual here, we had sold and were renting so had to give notice as well), we were able to get possession after 2 weeks as house was empty and we wanted to MOVE MOVE MOVE!
Shes fully dragging it out for views.
