This came up in a conversation recently, [contact name], and I figured it was worth sharing.
A lot of sellers still think inspections are where deals fall apart. That once a buyer gets an inspection report, everything unravels.
But when I went back and looked at what actually happened in January closings, the story was very different.
8 out of 10 homes that went pending still closed. And of the ones that closed, most didnÕt renegotiate at all.
That honestly surprised a lot of people, but it didnÕt surprise me.
The deals that went smoothly werenÕt ÒperfectÓ homes. They were homes where expectations were realistic from the start. Pricing matched condition. The big stuff wasnÕt a mystery. No one was hoping buyers would just overlook things.
The common denominator wasnÕt luck. It was planning.
IÕm seeing more sellers win by addressing this before they list instead of reacting to it later. And itÕs making the process way less stressful for everyone involved.
If youÕre ever curious how inspections really tend to play out in todayÕs market, IÕm always happy to walk through what IÕm seeing. No pressure, just information!
