Unless you’re a cash buyer, closing on a house can fall through on closing day due to mortgage loan issues. Though it’s rare (73% of contracts close on time, and only 5% of contracts never make it past closing day), there are also other reasons that a home’s sale can fall through on the closing day, including cold feet, title issues, and unfulfilled contingencies. To avoid these, it’s important to stay involved and prepared for what happens on closing day for buyers.
