More Contracts Are Falling Through. Here’s How To Get Ahead.
The last thing you want as a seller is for your deal to collapse right before closing. But it’s happening more often than you think.
📊 In June, 15% of pending home sales fell through — up from the usual 12% in past years. The biggest reason? Home inspections.
Here’s why:
With high prices and mortgage rates, buyers don’t want surprise repair costs.
More homes on the market = buyers have other options.
If a major issue comes up (roof, plumbing, electrical, etc.), buyers may walk away.
The Fix? A Pre-Listing Inspection.
This is a home inspection you do before putting your house on the market.
✨ Benefits:
Fix problems early so buyers don’t find them later.
Avoid last-minute renegotiations that could cost you money.
Build buyer confidence by showing your home is well cared for.
💡 A small upfront cost could save you thousands and keep your deal from falling apart.
Not every seller needs one — but your agent can help decide if it’s right for you and guide you through the process.
Bottom line
Want a smooth, worry-free sale? A pre-listing inspection could be the key.
Finding ways to make your credit score better could help you get a lower mortgage rate. When you’re ready to get the process started, let’s connect.
