Why Are Conditional Sales Falling Apart? - Ottawa Real Estate
Why are so many conditional sales falling apart? 🤔
It's actually astonishing. It's at 30% across Canada and the US. 🏡 The house is for sale, it goes conditional, and then it goes back on the market. Either it falls through on finance or inspection, both of which are critical and both tied to affordability. 💸
Buyers right now can’t afford to do renovations or make changes when they consider what their mortgage payment is going to be. 💰 It’s truly astonishing. Rates are still high, though they are coming down. There’s a lot of hope and optimism for the future. 🌅
But right now, when buyers look at the home and the monthly payment, they can’t factor in costs like a new kitchen, new carpet, or new hardwood floors. 🛠️ This is 2024, and new improvements—whether it's a renovation on the foundation, or a new furnace or air conditioning—are just too much. 🔧
All buyers are focusing on is the monthly payment number. When a deal falls through, it's usually because the math doesn’t work. 📉 There's no more money left for additional renovations. That's why sellers need to price their homes accurately, so they can engage buyers emotionally and account for any updates needed in the home. 💡 That will affect the selling price. 📊
