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 22% · cash 10% · VA 55% · FHA 13%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. In Maysville, 97 homes priced right sold in a median of 30 days. The 20 that needed price cuts took a median of 74 days and sold at 95.3% of asking.
- Watch your price range. Under $300K, 18% of listings didn't sell. In the $300–400K range it was 9%.
- Waiting costs money. Listings that never sold sat a median of 64 days. On a typical $315,000 home, estimated carrying costs run about $935 a month before mortgage, and about $1,954 while it sits unsold.
- Expect that a contract can fall apart. It happened to 16% of Maysville contracts, about 1 in 6, most often from inspection, appraisal or financing issues in general industry experience. Get the home ready and the paperwork lined up before you list. Homes that fell through and later sold took a median of 58 days, versus 31 days for first contracts that held.
