You missed out on the house. And then you spent the next three weeks looking at homes that did not feel right.
Here is what most buyers do not know. Roughly 15% of pending sales fall through before closing. Inspections, financing, appraisals, cold feet. Deals die all the time.
When they do, the home goes back on the market. Unless someone submitted a backup offer. That buyer skips the bidding war. That buyer closes on the home everyone else thought was gone.
If you have been watching a home go pending before you could act on it, the door is not closed. You just need someone who knows how to structure the move.
