Home sales falling through
In total, some 60,000 home-purchase agreements were canceled in August, according to Redfin — roughly 1 in 7 pending sales for that month.

The frequency of cancellations has been growing through the year, coming close to the nearly 17% of cancellations seen in October 2022 (when mortgage rates were also around 7%). Real estate pros have noticed the change; one Redfin real estate agent quoted in the report said they had seen more cancellations in the last six months “than I’ve seen at any point during my 24 years of working in real estate.”

What’s to blame? According to Redfin, potential buyers are most likely backing out because they’re realizing that they’re signing themselves up for too expensive a commitment. When buyers see that last stack of papers, with their mortgage rate and monthly payments next to the home’s sales price and all of the other house expenses they’re signing up for, it’s their last chance to bail. And apparently that’s exactly what many would-be buyers are deciding to do
I work with my clients so they are totaly comfortable knowing what they can afford and be assured I am working for them.

My house in 1922!
It is not the same house as it was back then! Just as todays housing market is not the same as then.
Buyers are finding it difficult and are struggling with a lack of inventory and higher mortgage rates.
The Federal Reserve has put forward an aggressive string of interest rate hikes as it tries to slash inflation by slowing the economy and choking off demand.
That means borrowers face higher costs for everything from car loans to credit card debt to mortgages.
The market is always up and down, and predictions for the future can be a challenging. But there maybe hope for buyers as more inventory becomes available.
