🏡 Keep Your Home Sale on Track
One of the biggest concerns for sellers is having a deal fall apart right before closing. The good news? Most home sales still make it to the closing table. According to recent Redfin data, only about 1 in 7 pending sales fall through.
Here are some of the most common reasons a sale can fall through:
🔎 Inspection issues – Unexpected repairs can lead to renegotiations or delays.
💰 Financing problems – A buyer’s loan may not receive final approval before closing.
🏠 Buyer contingencies – If a buyer needs to sell their current home first, delays can affect your timeline.
📉 Changes in finances – New debt or employment changes can impact a buyer’s mortgage qualification.
The best way to reduce surprises is to prepare before your home hits the market. A pre-listing inspection can help identify potential issues early, and working with the right real estate agent ensures you’re evaluating the entire offer—not just the price, but also the financing, contingencies, and closing timeline.
A little preparation can go a long way in helping your sale move smoothly from listing to closing. 🗝️
