FAQ

When you include an escalation clause in your offer, you're telling the seller your highest possible offer right out of the gate. This can limit your negotiating power. Additionally, some sellers won't accept offers that include escalation clauses. So you may be limited in the homes you can make these types of bids on.

Typically, escalation clauses are not a common strategy in the NYC market, but in the right circumstances, they can work. However, they can also backfire when not used appropriately. We discuss what buyers need to know about escalation clauses, what they are, how to offer one, and the risks.

However, buyers need to be careful with these clauses as they can sometimes backfire. “An escalation clause needs to be in conjunction with a really good offer,” said Madani of Room Real Estate. “It's really the whole package to get your offer accepted.”

Sometimes called an escalator clause, an escalation clause usually includes the increments by which your bid can increase as well as a maximum offer. Typically, an escalation clause is used when a bidder expects a property will receive multiple offers.

Examples of Escalation Clauses For informational purposes only. Always consult with an attorney or legal consultants before proceeding with any real estate transaction. Example 1: “In the event that a competing offer is made, the buyer agrees to increase their offer by $5,000 within 24 hours.”
