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 50% · cash 38% · VA 4% · FHA 7%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. The 37 homes that did were sold in a median of 33 days. The 39 that needed price cuts took 47 days and sold at 93.1% of asking.
- Waiting costs money. Listings that never sold sat a median of 170 days. On a typical home at $218,888, carrying costs run an estimated $788 a month before the mortgage, or about $4,413 while a home sits unsold.
- Contracts fall apart here about 23% of the time, or 1 in 4. Most often that's inspection, appraisal or financing issues, in my general experience. Get ahead of them with a pre-listing inspection and a buyer who is solidly financed.
- A second contract is a worse deal. After a fall-through, homes sold at 91.3% of asking, against 97.4% for the first contract.
If you're buying
- You have room to negotiate. 70% of sales closed below the first asking price, and the median sale came in at 96.9% of first ask.
- Look at homes that have sat. Listings that never sold had a median of 170 days on the market, and sellers in that spot often get more flexible.
- You'll be bidding against cash on some homes: 38% of buyers paid cash. Conventional loans were 50%, FHA 7% and VA 4%.
