The data is seasonal; typically, there\u2019s a higher share of cancellations at the end of the year and a lower share in the spring. That\u2019s why we compare this June to past Junes. Please note: Homes that fell out of contract during a given month didn\u2019t necessarily go under contract that same month. This data is subject to revision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pending home sales are falling through at a higher rate than in the past largely because it\u2019s a buyer\u2019s market. There are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/sellers-vs-buyers-price-impact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hundreds of thousands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more U.S. home sellers than buyers, giving buyers more options to choose from and more negotiating power. Buyers have room to be picky; they may back out during the inspection period if a better home comes up for sale or they discover an issue they don\u2019t want to fix.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finances are the other major reason buyers are backing out of deals. U.S. home-sale prices are at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/housing-market-update-sellers-price-lower\/\">record highs<\/a>, and while monthly mortgage payments have fallen a bit, they\u2019re still near their all-time high. Some would-be buyers are canceling purchases when the reality of their monthly payment sets in. Additionally, Redfin agents report that some buyers are canceling because they\u2019re nervous about economic uncertainty surrounding things like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/survey-tariffs-major-purchase\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tariffs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, inflation, and the possibility of a recession.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBuyers have leverage,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/crystal-zschirnt\">Crystal Zschirnt<\/a>, a Redfin Premier agent in Dallas. \u201cSome buyers are canceling deals because another home pops up in the same price range that they like better, or because they discover a flaw and get nervous it\u2019ll cost too much to fix. I\u2019ve also heard of some buyers backing out because they\u2019re hoping home prices or mortgage rates are going to plummet soon, even though that\u2019s unlikely.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin expects home prices to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/home-price-forecast-decline-2025\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decline 1%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> year over year nationwide by the end of 2025, and mortgage rates to remain essentially unchanged in the 6.8% range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, sellers are working hard to keep transactions from falling apart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSellers are willing to make deals because in today\u2019s buyer\u2019s market, they don\u2019t want to lose out on a sale once they have a buyer under contract,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/van-welborn\">Van Welborn<\/a>, a Redfin Premier agent in Phoenix. \u201cA few years ago, when the market was more competitive, sellers were able to tell buyers to move on rather than pay for repairs found during the inspection period. Now, sellers are they\u2019re doing whatever they can to close the deal. I have one buyer who discovered a septic issue on an ultra-luxury home and was able to talk the seller into reducing the price by $1 million.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Sun Belt Metros Have the Highest Cancellation Rates<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Jacksonville, FL, more than one in five (21.4%) home-purchase agreements were canceled in June, the highest share of 44 major U.S. metros Redfin analyzed. It\u2019s followed by Las Vegas (19.7%) and Atlanta (19.6%).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sun Belt is home to all of the metros with the highest cancellation rates: San Antonio, Tampa, FL, Orlando, FL, Riverside, CA, Phoenix, Fort Worth, TX and Miami round out the top 10. Cancellations are especially common in Florida and Texas in part because there\u2019s a lot of new construction, giving buyers even more inventory to choose from. Some buyers in those areas are backing out due to sky-high insurance quotes related to the increasing frequency of natural disasters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other end of the spectrum, just 5.4% of home-purchase agreements in Nassau County, NY were canceled in June, the lowest share of the metros Redfin analyzed. It\u2019s followed by Montgomery County, PA (6.8%) and Milwaukee (8.2%).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Contract Cancellations Are on the Rise in All But 7 Major U.S. Metros<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest year-over-year increases in contract cancellations are in California: In Anaheim, 15.2% of deals were canceled, up from 12.6%, and in Los Angeles, 17.1% were canceled, up from 14.7%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The share of home-purchase cancellations <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fell <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">year over year in June in just seven of the metros in this analysis, all by about 1 percentage point or less. The biggest decline was in Fort Lauderdale, FL (16.5%, down from 17.7%), followed by Denver (16.2%, down from 17.2%), and Orlando, FL (19%, down from
