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 25% · VA 13% · FHA 10%.
If you're selling
- Price it right from day one: homes priced well sold in a typical 57 days, versus 110 days for the 6 that needed cuts.
- Under $300K is the toughest range here, with a 29% rate of listings that didn't sell.
- Waiting has a cost: estimated carrying costs while unsold run about $8,500 for a typical home.
- When contracts fall apart (6% of the time here, or 1 in 17), it's most often inspection, appraisal or financing issues industry-wide, and homes that go back on the market still sold, just in a median 71 days instead of 60.
If you're buying
