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.
