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 0% · cash 0% · VA 84% · FHA 14%.

If you're selling

  • Homes priced right from day one sold in a typical 140 days. Homes that needed a price cut took 169 days and still only landed 94.4% of asking.
  • 55% of homes sold below their first asking price, so start close to where the market actually is.
  • 4% of contracts fell apart, about 1 in 23. Most often that comes down to inspection, appraisal or financing issues, so have your home and paperwork ready before you go under contract.
  • If a contract does fall apart, homes that later sold still got 96.9% of asking, so a second buyer is not a lost cause.

If you're buying

  • Over half of recent sales closed below the seller's first asking price, so there is room to negotiate.
  • Homes here typically sit 149 days before selling, so you are not likely competing in a rush.
  • Most buyers in this neighborhood used VA financing (84%), with FHA (13%) covering most of the rest.
