The most common contingencies are home inspection (58%), appraisal (44%), obtaining financing (43%), having clear title (11%), and selling a current home (5%).
Nine percent of agents reported encountering no problems that threatened to delay their deals. The most pressing problems that agents say they faced in ushering an on-time settlement were the following:
- Issues related to obtaining financing: 30%
- Appraisal issues: 16%
- Home inspection/environmental issues: 19%
- Titling/deed issues: 11%
