What made this Canton purchase challenging?

A specific Canton purchase is not identified in this question, so this site can't speak to a particular case, but common challenges in a Canton purchase generally include competing offers on well-priced homes, an appraisal that comes in below the contract price, and financing timelines that don't match a seller's preferred closing date. Working through each of those usually means renegotiating terms rather than the deal falling apart. Joel Boss can speak to the specifics of an actual Canton transaction if you have one in mind.
