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 47% · cash 12% · VA 18% · FHA 21%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. Homes priced right sold in a median 22 days, while homes that needed cuts took a median 98 days.
- Under $300K is the rough spot here. That range had the highest didn't-sell rate at 29%.
- Waiting costs money. Estimated carrying costs before mortgage run about $938 a month on a typical $325,000 home, and listings that never sold sat a median 107 days.
- Contracts fall apart about one in four times. Most often that's inspection, appraisal or financing issues, so get the house ready and the paperwork lined up before you list.
