That's nearly double what the National Association of Realtors is officially reporting — and if you're thinking about selling your home this summer, that number should change how you prepare.
Here's what's actually killing deals right now:
The home inspection contingency is the #1 deal-breaker, cited by 41% of top agents nationwide
Roof damage, foundation issues, and mold are the most common culprits
Buyers in today's market don't have extra budget to absorb big repairs — so when something shows up, they walk
And here's the part most sellers don't see coming.
When that buyer walks, your home goes back on the market with a higher day count. Every day it sits, buyers start wondering what's wrong with it. The deal didn't just fall apart — your negotiating position got weaker.
The sellers who are winning right now are the ones who know what's in their house before buyers do.
A pre-listing inspection isn't an expense. It's protection.
If you're thinking about selling this summer and want to know what buyers are going to find before they find it — let's talk. No pressure, no pitch. Just straight talk about what it actually takes to close in this market.
