Fun Fact 2:

Fun Fact 3:
Over 40,000 U.S. home-purchase agreements were canceled nationally in December, equal to 16.3% of homes that went under contract that month—the highest December percentage in records dating back to 2017. Commentary: A lot of these cancelations happen because buyers don’t realize the total costs associated with the purchase or because inspection negotiations fall through. Having good representation matters. Knowing what you are getting into before contracting or even looking at homes is important.
