Why 15% of Home Sales Are Falling Apart—and How San Luis Obispo Sellers Can Avoid It

October 3, 2025

Here’s a stat that’ll make any seller pause: 15% of home sales recently fell apart before closing. Imagine thinking you’re sold, then suddenly the deal dies. The #1 reason? Inspections. With home prices and mortgage rates already pushing budgets, buyers aren’t willing to take on unexpected repairs.

That’s why a pre-listing inspection is one of the smartest moves you can make as a seller. It lets you fix issues upfront, avoid last-minute renegotiations, and build trust with buyers. The result? A faster sale and often a higher price.

In San Luis Obispo County’s competitive market, this step can save you thousands—and spare you the heartbreak of watching a deal collapse.

Thinking of selling? Reach out and I’ll show you how to get ahead of the competition.
