How Do You Write an Escalation Clause With a Home Offer? Let's say you make a $410,000 offer on a house listed for $400,000. There are other offers on the table, so you include an escalation clause with a cap of $450,000 and a factor of $5,000. If another buyer's offer is $425,000, your offer will increase to $430,000.
