Not too much variation from this week to last, in fact, it's hardly any. New listings, sales, price changes, listings that went pending, basically the lot stayed on par this week with last. The variations that did occur were minor, that they really aren't worth mentioning. Seems we might be a bit down on sales compared to the amount of listings that are accepting offers, so I wonder if there might be a higher average of agreements falling apart on the various factors that make up a buyers due diligence. One of these factors that has become a bit notorious this year is financing and the failure to obtain a mortgage. From the mortgage specialists I have been in talks with, many buyers will do a soft pre-approval with their chosen traditional lender (bank), but sometimes they (bank) don't dig too far into the workings of the approval, therefor leaving surprises to be had during the course of due diligence. Their are some buyers out there that do not have their pre-approval in place for one reason or another as well, so that can quickly halt a transaction once the action commences. Of course, the second biggest showstopper, if not the first "deal breaker" during due dilligence, is the inspection. All buyers have a different threshold of risk and what conditions are expected when buying a home. Having a major discovery through one of the possible several inspections can leave buyers with hands out, and sellers turning out pockets. Then the question of how the buyer or seller can fund a large fix, should one be discovered, is posed. Some might look to the sales proceeds for such a thing, but that is unfortunately not an option anymore. Cash back, or credit on closing is a thing of the past, and certainly another topic to discuss another day. I invite any mortgage specialist to reach out with their take on cash back or credits on closing, and possible options, including purchase plus mortgages, to deal with big/small items instead of a price reduction to be featured on the blog in a finance post!
