What waiting costs

An example, not a quote: 20% down, 30-year fixed at 6.95% (Freddie Mac average, 2026-09-17); Brunswick County rate 0.342 per $100 (NC Department of Revenue, 2025-26 county rates); town taxes add more inside town limits; insurance, upkeep (1% of value a year) and utilities are typical estimates. If your home is paid off, the mortgage line drops out — the rest still adds up.

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 46% · cash 21% · VA 8% · FHA 20%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. Homes priced correctly sold in 41 days versus 113 days for homes that needed cuts.
- The $750K-1M range struggled most, with 31% not selling. The $300-400K range did best, with only 19% not selling.
- Waiting costs money. Unsold homes sat a median of 126 days, and carrying an unsold home an estimated $11,200 over that time.
- 1 in 5 contracts fell apart in Bolivia. Most often this comes down to inspection, appraisal or financing issues, so being prepared matters.
If you're buying
- 24% of listings in Bolivia didn't sell, and 76% of sales went below the first asking price. That's room to negotiate.
- Homes that needed a price cut still sold, just at 92.5% of asking after sitting a median of 113 days.
- Buyers are financing in different ways: 46% conventional, 21% cash, 20% FHA, and 9% VA.
