Some homebuyers are backing out of deals as a slowing housing market gives them more room to negotiate. Others are being forced to renege on contracts because higher mortgage rates mean some homes are no longer affordable.<\/h3>\n

Nationwide, roughly 60,000 home-purchase agreements fell through in June, equal to 14.9% of homes that went under contract that month. That\u2019s the highest percentage on record with the exception of March and April 2020, when the housing market all but ground to a halt due to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. It compares with 12.7% a month earlier and 11.2% a year earlier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is according to a Redfin analysis of MLS data going back through 2017. Please note that homes that fell out of contract during a given month didn\u2019t necessarily go under contract the same month. For example, a home that fell out of contract in June could have gone under contract in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe slowdown in housing-market competition<\/a> is giving homebuyers room to negotiate, which is one reason more of them are backing out of deals,\u201d said Redfin Deputy Chief Economist Taylor Marr<\/a>. \u201cBuyers are increasingly keeping rather than waiving inspection and appraisal contingencies. That gives them the flexibility to call the deal off if issues arise during the homebuying process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marr continued: \u201cRising mortgage rates are also forcing some buyers to cancel home purchases. If rates were at 5% when you made an offer, but reached 5.8% by the time the deal was set to close, you may no longer be able to afford that home or you may no longer qualify for a loan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The housing market has cooled in recent weeks as the Federal Reserve has boosted interest rates in an effort to quell inflation. That has given house hunters more freedom to seek concessions from sellers, but higher rates also make housing less affordable. Buyers did get a reprieve this past week, when the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 5.3%<\/a> in the largest one-week drop<\/a> since 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen mortgage rates shot up to almost 6% in June, we saw a number of buyers back out of deals,\u201d said Lindsay Garcia<\/a>, a Redfin real estate agent in Miami<\/a>. \u201cSome had to bow out because they could no longer get a loan due to the jump in rates. Buyers are also more skittish than usual due to economic uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metro-Level Summary: June 2022<\/h3>\n

The table below measures pending sales that fell out of contract as a percentage of overall pending sales, and is sorted from highest to lowest. A metro must have had at least 1,000 pending-home sales in June 2022 to be included.<\/i>
