Outbid another would-be (home) buyer (6)
I believe the answer is:
gazump
(Other definitions for gazump that I've seen before include "Offer more for a house than (an earlier bidder)" , "Raise the house price after accepting an offer" , "break agreement?" , "Perform house price swindle" , "After agreeing a lower price with one person, accept a higher one from another" .)
