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 44% · VA 12% · FHA 2%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. Homes priced right sold in a typical 10 days across 258 listings.
- Watch the price range. $300–400K had the highest didn't-sell rate at 32%.
- Waiting costs money. Listings that never sold sat a typical 150 days and took a typical 1.8% price cut.
- About 1 in 6 contracts fell apart. Most often that's inspection, appraisal or financing issues, based on general industry experience. Get the home ready for inspection before you list.
If you're buying
- Room to negotiate. 73% of homes sold below their first asking price, and the typical sale came in at 96.1% of the first ask.
- Homes that sit. Listings that never sold sat a typical 150 days, so a home that has been on the market a while may be worth a closer look.
- Here's how others are paying. 44% of buyers paid cash, 40% used conventional loans, 12% used VA and 2% used FHA.
