1 in 8 DC-area home sales are falling through

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:11:45 GMT

In September, roughly 12% of homes for sale in the D.C. metro that went under contract saw the sale fall through. Nationally, contracts signed to buy a home in September rose, but closed sales fell to the lowest level since the early days of the pandemic, according to Redfin.With rising mortgage rates, a top reason for canceled sales is buyer financing contingencies. The rate they originally qualified for may have gone up, lowering the loan amount they are qualified for by closing time.Buyers may be leaning on inspection contingencies more frequently as well, or discovering problems after making an offer that the seller doesn’t want to repair.For a buyer who cancels a contract, the consequences are not that great.“Back when interest rates were really low and there were multiple offers, one way buyers could get an offer accepted was to put down a lot of earnest money. But buyers don’t need to do that anymore, so when they’re walking away, they’re not walking away from their life savi...
