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 56% · FHA 13%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one. Homes priced correctly sold in 31 days. Ones that needed a cut sat 63 days and still sold for 95.4% of asking.
- Homes under $300K struggled most, with a 17% didn't-sell rate. The $300-400K range did best, at 9%.
- Waiting costs money. Listings that never sold sat a median of 64 days before coming off market.
- 15% of contracts fell apart in Maysville, about 1 in 7. Most often this comes down to inspection, appraisal or financing issues. If yours falls through, 81% of homes go on to sell later, typically in 58 more days.
If you're buying
- 35% of homes in Maysville sold below the first asking price, so there's room to negotiate on some listings.
- Typical time to sell is 35 days, but homes needing a price cut took 63 days to go under contract, meaning more patience and more negotiating room.
- Most buyers here used VA financing, 56%, with 22% conventional, 13% FHA, and 10% paying cash.
