Things took a turn in the days after Bass' tweet. After Lance announced the news, he says his offer was thrown out for a higher bid. A bummed-out Bass posted an emotional post on Instagram reading, "Here's the tale of a shady Brady." "I'm feeling heartbroken today," Bass wrote. "As many of you may have heard, we placed the winning bid on the iconic Brady Bunch house—at least that’s what we were told. The agent representing the estate informed us we made the winning bid (which was WAY over the asking price) after the final deadline for all offers had passed—even writing up the 'winning bid' for my team after informing me of the good news. Isn’t a deadline a deadline? This was a dream come true for me and I spent the night celebrating amongst friends, family, and fans alike." However due to "unforseen circumstances," Bass claims that "the same agent informed us that there’s another Corporate Buyer (Hollywood studio) who wants the house at any cost. We were prepared to go even higher but totally discouraged by the sellers agent, they will outperform any bid with unlimited resources. How is this fair or legal?? How can I compete with a billion dollar corporate entity?" Bass finished the post by saying that he "feels used" and says that he is hopeful that the house is not demolished by the new corporate ownership.

While the final details of the headline-grabbing sale are still being worked out, former NSYNC member Lance Bass came out on Twitter to say his offer to buy has been “accepted.” “Super excited to announce they accepted my offer on the #BradyBunch house last night!! !” Bass wrote on Friday. “This is going to be a fun project!” The property was listed on Zillow with a price tag of $1.89 million. Realtor Ernie Carlswell, who’s handling the sale, confirmed to EW that the home has entered escrow, but could not state the buyer’s identity as everyone involved “requested full confidentiality and executed a NDA.” However, Carslwell did say Bass “submitted one of the multiple offers received on the property.” Others came from “a wide assortment,” from celebrities to “regular families.” On Wednesday, the home’s seller countered a recent offer, which sent the bidding competition into another round and things began heating up toward the end of the week. When the escrow is completed in the next 10 days or so, the buyer will likely be officially known as there’s such public interest in this house. “When the closing occurs someone usually gets revealed and it pretty much gets out,” Carslwell notes. Bass’ lawyer did not respond to EW’s request for comment. In the meantime, Maureen McCormick, who played “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia” Brady, extended the sitcom family’s blessing to Bass. “Congratulations! May all your problems from here on out always be solved in a half hour!” McCormick tweeted. Bass responded with a promise the she “will most certainly be the first dinner guest! !” and McCormick accepted. “I would absolutely love that,” she wrote. It also appears Property Brother Jonathan Silver Scott and EmSee rap battle app founder Gregory Storm were among the other bidders. “I was planning to remodel the inside to match the #BradyBunch TV Show interior,” Storm tweeted to Bass. “If that’s what you also plan to do instead of tear it down, I’ll feel a little better about not having the highest offer. You’re not tearing it down right?” Bass confirmed “that’s the plan” to remodel the interior and not alter the exterior, which also put a smile on McCormick’s face. Bass further promised Scott “the door will always be open to you and your family.” As EW reported earlier, there was a concern that the Brady Bunch home would be torn down because developers vocalized their interest in the property. Realtor Jodie Levitus Francisco later clarified the family selling the house “really doesn’t want to sell it to a builder.” She also predicted “any builder would face such a tremendous backlash” if they demolished the home. It would seem the Brady house is now in good hands.<doc-sep>

""They will outperform any bid with unlimited resources," he wrote. "I'm hurt and saddened by this highly questionable outcome," he added.The iconic home is located on Dilling Street in Studio City and served as the exterior for "The Brady Bunch," which aired on ABC from 1969 to 1974.The asking price was nearly $2 million but no word on how much Bass bid or how much the competing buyer is willing to pay.When Bass initially thought he would be the buyer, he gushed with enthusiasm over plans to fix up the house, but retain its "Brady Bunch" flavor.At that time, Maureen McCormick - also known as Marcia Brady - congratulated Bass and he replied she'd be his first dinner guest.One of the other bidders for the home was "Property Brothers" star Jonathan Silver Scott, who offered his help to Bass renovating the property.
