A contingent contract is a legal agreement in which the terms and conditions only apply or take effect if a specific event occurs. Essentially, the parties involved agree to perform actions or obligations based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a particular event in the future.
The most common contingency is the home inspection contingency. This condition on an offer states the home sale will only be finalized if the property passes a professional home inspection. In other words, buyers can walk away from a home sale if the home inspection turns up serious problems.
A home inspection contingency is often the most common real estate contingency. The National Association of Realtors® estimates that about 80% of buyers include a home inspection contingency in their contract.

Contingent contracts usually occur when negotiating parties fail to reach an agreement. The contract is characterized as "contingent" because the terms are not final and are based on certain events or conditions occurring. A contingent contract can also be viewed as protection against a future change of plans.

The downside is that some sellers aren't interested in dealing with contingency clauses, as they worry that the deal may fall through. Therefore, if you want to make the offer more attractive – perhaps there are numerous offers in the same financial range as yours – one way to do it is to remove the contingency clause.
