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 12% · cash 10% · VA 62% · FHA 12%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. The 33 homes that did sold in a median of 9 days. The 9 that needed price cuts took a median of 49 days and sold at 96.0% of asking.
- Waiting costs money. On a typical $247,000 home, carrying costs before the mortgage are estimated at about $842 a month, and about $1,448 while a home sits unsold. The listings that never sold sat a median of 52 days.
- Contracts fall apart too: 13% did, about 1 in 8. Most often inspection, appraisal or financing issues, in our general experience. Get ahead of them with pre-listing repairs and a realistic price.
- A fall-through isn't the end. 83% of those homes later sold, but 17% never did. They took a median of 58 days and sold at 97.9%, compared with 11 days and 100.0% for homes whose first contract held.
If you're buying
- There is some room to negotiate. 52% of homes sold below first asking price, though the median sale came in at 99.6% of first ask.
- Homes that sit are your best chance at a deal. Those that needed price cuts sold at a median of 96.0% of asking.
