Property has disappeared off Rightmove

Hi, we looked at a property last week that was offers by informal tender by Thursday. I absolutely loved it, but OH was not prepared to make anywhere near a realistic offer at that time:(. On Monday I looked on Rightmove and it's completely disappeared, not even showing up as SSTC listing as properties usually do if they are under offer. A friend had a quick look using her back door access to Rightmove and it's showing up as archived on Saturday, but she's not really sure what this means. Does anyone know what this could mean please?

Thanks

    Simplest thing would be to call the Estate Agent and ask.

    As it's been archived I'd just rather find out if that means there's any hope at all before I do that. It's a deceased estate property being sold off by solicitors.

    We archived properties in RM when they weren't for sale anymore - it's unlikely to have sold as the EA's like to show that off for a bit (and I understand they get archived automatically after a time at SSTC), but more likely removed from the market for whatever reason.

    Thanks, bearing in mind it's a deceased estate it sounds quite hopeful that it could come back on the market in some capacity. Will talk over with OH later on and then will hopefully phone/visit EA.
