By the Numbers: Homebuyers walked away from deals at record rate in December
In yet another troubling sign for the U.S. home sale market, buyers across the country canceled home sales in December at the highest rate since the pandemic.
The share of deals in contract that were nixed hit 16.31 percent last month — a hair above the share of cancellations the country saw in March 2020. This means that in December, buyers canceled about 40,000 home-purchase agreements, according to an analysis from brokerage and data firm Redfin.
