An example, not a quote: 20% down, 30-year fixed at 7.03% (Freddie Mac average, 2026-09-24); Wayne County rate 0.6259 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 26% · cash 6% · VA 26% · FHA 36%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one: homes priced correctly sold in a median 88 days versus 145 days for ones needing cuts.
- The $300-400K range struggled most, with 69% not selling. Under $300K did best, with only 24% not selling.
- Waiting costs money. Listings that never sold sat a median 213 days and still needed a 1.9% price cut.
- 18% of contracts fell apart before closing, most often inspection, appraisal or financing issues. Homes that had a contract fall through and later sold took a median 125 days and sold at 96.5% of asking.
