Roughly 60,000 deals fell through, equal to 15% of homes that entered into contract.

The US housing market saw a rise in the percentage of deals cancelled in June as rising mortgage rates made homes more expensive, pushing some buyers to walk away from deals.
Across the country, nearly 60,000 home sales fell through, according to an analysis by Redfin Corp. That was equal to 15% of transactions that went into contract that month, the highest share of cancellations since April 2020, when early Covid lockdowns froze the housing market.
Even in a more normal time, deals can fall through for a wide range of reasons. Mortgage applications get denied and inspections reveal the need for expensive repairs. Sometimes a buyer just gets cold feet. In June 2021, when buyers were waiving contingencies and flooding into open houses, the number of canceled transactions equaled roughly 11% of contracts entered that month.
