🏡 Real Estate Terms: Contingent
When a home is listed as contingent, it means the seller has accepted an offer, but the sale depends on certain conditions being met.
Common contingencies may include:
• Home inspection
• Financing approval
• Appraisal
• The buyer selling their current home
The property is under contract, but the sale is not final until those conditions are satisfied. Depending on the contract, the seller may still accept backup offers.
