Some of these new listings of single family homes are listed as new then after a couple months are canceled and relisted as new again so tht figure might not be correct as far as how many homes were listed as new. They might of been counted twice or more. Not all contracts accepted end up closing. Buyer might have trouble getting financing or during the attorney review and inspection period issues sometimes can come up that do not get resolved. It is very important to have a good REALTOR® and real estate attorney to help resolve any issues that come up. Most can be resolved if handled correctly. Others will take too much time to resolve so everyone moves on.
