Real estate agents and real estate brokers are people who represents sellers or buyers of real estate or real property. While a broker may work independently, an agent usually works under a licensed broker to represent clients.

The house is sold when the deed has exchanged hands to the buyer and the necessary funds have been disbursed. Until the deal is closed and the house is sold, you still may have a chance. Many buyers assume that “sale pending” means the property is no longer available. But that’s not always the case.

Homes are listed as pending because even though they are under contract, they haven’t sold yet. There’s always a chance the sale could fall through – for instance, if the buyer’s financing was declined.

South Carolina has seen the most homes sold, with 77.30 per every 100,000 people. Over the last month, 4,071 houses and apartments were sold with the average price coming in at $301,659. Arizona is next with 76.82 house sales at an average price of $419,675. This is above the national average of $357,319 across the US.
