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 23% · cash 15% · VA 6% · FHA 49%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. The 14 homes priced right sold in a typical 4 days. The 33 that needed cuts took 67 days and sold at 93.3% of asking.
- A small cut doesn't fix a wrong price. Listings that never sold took a median cut of just 1.0% and sat a median 131 days.
- Waiting costs money. On a typical $312,490 home, carrying costs are estimated at about $849 a month before mortgage, and about $3,653 while a home sits unsold.
- Contracts fall apart here too, about 1 in 6 times. The MLS doesn't record why. In general, it's most often inspection, appraisal or financing issues, so get the home ready and the paperwork lined up before you list.
If you're buying
- There is room to negotiate. 83% of homes sold below their first asking price, and the median sale came in at 95.6% of it.
- Homes that sit are your leverage. Listings that never sold sat a median 131 days. Look closely at anything that has been on the market a while.
- Know how others are paying. FHA is 49% of buyers, conventional 23%, cash 15% and VA 6%. Have your financing lined up and ready.
