Home-purchase cancellations are on the rise, with 14.3% of U.S. pending home sales falling through in April—the highest rate for any April since 2017, aside from the pandemic shock in 2020.

We also spotlight the metros with the highest fallout rates, including several in Florida and Texas, and explain how savvy investors can turn these failed deals into opportunities.
