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 30% · cash 6% · VA 24% · FHA 34%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. The 48 homes priced right sold in a typical 86 days. The 21 that needed price cuts took 145 days and sold at 94.6% of asking.
- Small cuts made late don't fix it. Listings that never sold took a median cut of just 1.9% and sat a median 198 days.
- The $300–400K range struggled most, with 67% not selling. Under $300K did best, and even there the rate was 27%. Look at the homes competing in your range before you pick a number.
- Waiting costs money. On a typical home near $259,870, carrying costs run an estimated $851 a month before the mortgage. An unsold home can rack up about $5,537 in estimated carrying costs.
If you're buying
- You have room to negotiate. 65% of homes that sold went for less than the first asking price, and the median sale came in at 98.3% of it.
- Homes that sit are common here. Listings that never sold sat a median 198 days. A home that's been on the market a while may bring a better deal.
- Buyers pay in different ways: 35% FHA, 29% conventional, 25% VA and 6% cash. Line up your financing early so your offer is ready when you find the right house.
