Some of those new listings are homes that have been relisted. Not all listings that receive contracts close. Some might have an inspection issue that can’t be negotiated to resolve or something might come up on the new title search that can’t be easily resolved. You need a good REALTOR® and real estate attorney that can help get through some of these issues.
