Will Your Real Estate Deal Stay Together?

Monday, August 21st, 2006

I just ran some statistics on how many homes in Marin County come back on the market after entering escrow.
In the last thirty days 253 homes (condos and homes) sold in Marin.  During the same thirty day period 112 homes came back on the market.  This includes homes that sold during the same time period but even with that it is a sobering number.
This can happen for many reasons; sometimes a buyer thinks they paid too much and find some other reason to back out.  Other times new inspections bring to light damage or conditions that for various reasons can’t be negotiated.
A good way to prevent the deal from falling apart is for sellers to disclose all they know about the property from the start.  Perhaps, more import, thought is for the real estate agents to try to work together and prevent either party from locking horns on small issues.
