An example, not a quote: Wayne County rate 0.6259 per $100 (NC Department of Revenue, 2025-26 county rates); town taxes add more inside town limits; insurance, upkeep (1% of value a year) and utilities are typical estimates.

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 27% · cash 6% · VA 24% · FHA 37%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. The 48 homes priced right sold in a typical 94 days. The 19 that needed price cuts took 149 days and sold at 94.6% of asking.
- Watch your price range. In $300–400K, 69% of listings didn't sell. Under $300K, it was 27%.
- Waiting costs money. On a typical home at $258,830, carrying costs run an estimated $846 a month before the mortgage, about $5,566 while a home sits unsold. Listings that never sold sat a median 200 days, and their median price cut was only 1.7%.
- About 1 in 5 contracts fell apart (20%). The MLS doesn't record why, but in general experience it's most often inspection, appraisal or financing issues. Get ahead of those before you list. Homes that fell through and later sold took 145 days, against 114 days for a first contract that held.
If you're buying
- You have room to talk. 64% of homes sold below their first asking price, and the typical sale came in at 98.3%.
- Homes that sit are the ones to watch. Listings that never sold sat a median 200 days. Where a contract fell apart and the home sold later, it went at 96.2% of asking.
- Know how others are buying: 37% used FHA, 27% conventional, 24% VA and 6% paid cash.
