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 40% · cash 29% · VA 24% · FHA 8%.

If you're selling

  • Price it right from day one. Homes priced right sold in a median 13 days.

  • When a contract falls apart, prepare for it. Only 25% of those homes sold later, and 75% never did.

If you're buying

  • There's room to negotiate. 74% of homes sold below first ask, and the median sold at 97.0% of first ask.
  • Buyers are paying a mix of ways: 40% conventional, 29% cash, 24% VA and 8% FHA.
  • For a home at $475,000, estimated carrying costs are about $1,010 a month before mortgage.
