About 95% of all real estate transactions reach a successful close.

The NAR’s Realtors Confidence Index Survey data varies from month to month but, generally speaking…

• 75% of total contracts sail through without delays
• 20% of total contracts have delay hiccups
• 5% of total contracts fall by the wayside

Why Do Real Estate Transactions Fall by the Wayside?

This is where the data gets murky because there are many reasons for a real estate transaction to kick the bucket – financing, appraisal, title, and, of course, inspection.  Sometimes sellers or buyers just change their minds.  Of the 5% of total deals which are canceled, 99% are canceled for >1 reason.

What % of Transactions Are Canceled Because of Home Inspections?

<1% of total transactions are canceled because of a home inspection.

There’s no published pinpoint data.  Even if a home inspection is listed as a reason for canceling a deal, it’s lumped in with “environmental,” which is just weird.
