When searching for homes, a potential red flag you may come across is a listing coming back on the market. However, they key is to consider the "why." An inspection falling through may signal an unsuitable property, whereas someone's financing falling through is typically all about the buyer. Staying informed about these factors can help you sort through the opportunities for the true gem.
