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.

2019 by the month

I think it is interesting to see the totals by the month for New listings of single family homes, closed and contracts accepted so you can see how they change.

2019 by the month:

New Closed Contracts accepted

January 878 407 608

February 1,032 465 832

March 1,731 915 1,375

April 1,594 790 1,307

May 2,004 1,391 1,665

June 1,643 1,253 1,218

July 1,423 1,029 1,090

August 1,585 1,403 1,211

September 1,164 765 869

October 825 567 580

Totals 13,879 8,985 10,755

Not all homes that come on the market sell. Some of them cancel the listing or they either need to adjust price or make some updates. Paint does wonders!

Contracts accepted does not mean they will close. The majority of them do but some of them might run into issues with the home inspection that they can not come to an agreement. Sometimes when they do a more in-depth credit check things show up that can’t be resolved in time.

Having an experienced REALTOR® and good real estate attorney makes all the difference in getting through issues that come up.

Market activity so far for 2019 in the Fox Valley by the month

September-1,164 September-765 September-869

October so far-291 October so far-235 October so far-195

Total-13,345 8,653 10,370

I changed it up this week so you could see the difference side-by-side. Some of those new listings have not sold or canceled and decided not to sell.

Not every listing that receives a contract closes. There are many reasons why they do not close. There could be an issue with the buyer that does not get approved for the loan for some reason. Home inspection or attorney review had issues that they could not agree on resolving. Buyer or seller change their mind about going through with the deal. All very good reasons why you need a good REALTOR® and good real estate Attorney to get you through all the issues that can come up.

It makes sense that May was the biggest month for new listings and contracts accepted and it also makes sense that August was the biggest month for closings. Everything still revolves around the school year. There is still activity though.
