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 16% · cash 10% · VA 63% · FHA 8%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. Homes priced right sold in a median of 23 days. Homes that needed cuts took 68 days.
- Price matters most under $300K. That range had the highest didn't-sell rate, at 14%, versus 5% for $400–500K.
- Waiting has a cost. Listings that never sold had a median of 97 days on market, and they took a median price cut of 1.7%.
- Contracts fall apart about 1 in 6 times. Most often that's inspection, appraisal or financing issues, based on general industry experience. Get the house ready for inspection and talk to your lender early.
If you're buying
- There is room to negotiate. 49% of homes sold below their first asking price.
- Homes that sit are real. Listings that never sold sat a median of 97 days before they ended.
- Most buyers use VA financing at 63%. Conventional is 16%, cash is 10% and FHA is 8%.
