<<anyone know if it's ok to ask why owners wants to sell?>>

It's perfectly all right to ask why the house is being sold so soon.

You might not get a straight answer, if the seller wants to keep the reason confidential. Maybe it's a divorce case or a serious sudden illness. But all buyers would naturally want to know the reason behind such a quick turnover, so go ahead and ask.

Could be a little tough to get an appraisal on the house for $100K more than it was just sold for 2 weeks ago, though. That seller sounds a little naive in this respect, so he probably isn't a real estate agent. Unless of course, he bought the house at a below-market price and the house truly justifies its new higher price tag.

<<What can be assumed about the seller since he is risking quite a lot just to make a small profit?>>

$100K isn't a small profit, is it?. And what would he be risking?
