You may see posts saying more buyers are backing out of contracts lately. But here’s the key thing to understand if you want to sell. There’s one common cause – and it’s something you can control.

Over 70% of recently cancelled contracts happened because issues popped up during the inspection. But that's a headache you can dodge with the right prep.

With an agent’s help, you can uncover potential issues early and fix them before you list. That way you’re not reactive, you’re proactive. And buyers never get caught off guard.

You may have seen headlines on social saying the number of buyers backing out of their contracts is on the rise – and has recently reached a high not seen since 2017.

Does the recent rise in foreclosure filings mean we’re headed for another crash? The short answer is no.

Right now, only 1% of all homes are seriously delinquent, meaning the owners are more than 90 days behind on their payments. That’s only 1 in 100.

During the last crash, it was 9%. That’s 1 in 11. And that’s a big difference.

Plus, not every delinquency even turns into a foreclosure. Many homeowners work out repayment plans. Others will use their equity to sell.

So, don’t let foreclosure headlines spark flashbacks to 2008. This isn’t a wave. It’s a ripple at most.

Online searches for “can’t sell house” just hit an all-time high. So, if your house has been sitting on the market without offers, you’re not the only one.

But that doesn’t mean it won’t sell. It usually just means something about your strategy needs to shift.

But the best place to figure that out isn’t an online search.

A search engine doesn’t know your house, your neighborhood, or what buyers in your market are actually looking for. Your agent does.

So, before you start scrolling through results online, start with a real conversation with a real person. Your agent can tell you what buyers are saying and what adjustments could change the momentum for you.

Because sometimes the difference between “still sitting” and “just sold” is a few smart tweaks to the plan.

One Key Sign We’re Not Headed for a Wave of Foreclosures

Are foreclosure filings rising slightly? Yes. Are they anywhere near crash territory? No. And homeowners today have far more equity and flexibility than they did during the crash.

If you’re concerned about what you’re seeing in the headlines, the best move isn’t panic, it’s perspective. And the data right now says this isn’t 2008 all over again.

Foreclosures are ticking up. And that may make your mind jump straight to thoughts of 2008 – specifically to what happened to the market during the housing crash.

A lot of buyers think rates dropping from the low 6s into the upper 5s would dramatically change their monthly payment. But the math tells another story.

On a $500k loan, the difference between getting a 6.1% and 5.9% mortgage rate is only about $64 a month. Not $300. Not $500. Only $60.

That’s not the massive swing many buyers imagine when they say they’re “waiting for the 5s.”

If you’re holding out for a lower rate, my advice is to double check the math. Because rates have already come down significantly from just one year ago. And you may not need to wait any longer.

The numbers could already work better than you expect.

If Your House Isn’t Getting Offers, Read This.

If your listing feels stuck, it’s not a sign you shouldn’t sell. It’s the market giving you feedback. And feedback is powerful when you use it.

Start with a real conversation with a real agent about what’s working and what’s not. Your agent will be able to tell you which small adjustments could totally change the momentum. Because in this market, the sellers who adapt are the ones who move.
