The MLS doesn't record why a contract ends. In our experience the most common reasons are home inspection findings, appraisals that come in below the price, and buyer financing. How buyers paid on closed sales: conventional 44% · cash 38% · VA 13% · FHA 3%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. The 9 homes priced right sold in a typical 25 days. The 22 that needed price cuts took 122 days and sold at 92.6% of asking.
- Waiting costs money. For a typical $327,000 home, carrying costs are estimated at about $869 a month before the mortgage. That is about $3,696 estimated while a home sits unsold.
- Small cuts late don't fix it. Listings that never sold had a median price cut of 3.4% and sat a median of 130 days.
- Prepare for contracts that fall apart. About 21% did, 1 in 5. The MLS doesn't record why, but in general experience it is most often inspection, appraisal or financing issues. Get repairs looked at and your paperwork ready before you list.
If you're buying
- You have room to negotiate. 97% of sold homes closed below the first asking price, and the median was 93.9% of it.
- Homes that sit are the opening. Listings that never sold sat a median of 130 days. Ask what has changed since the first price.
- Know how others are paying. 39% of buyers paid cash, 45% used conventional loans, 10% VA and 3% FHA. Line up your financing before you make an offer.
