FAQ
Making a Contingency Offer Attractive If you are buying your dream home in a slow real estate market with high interest rates and fewer potential buyers, sellers will be much more willing to accept this clause.
If you're interested in a property that's listed with an active contingent status, you may still be able to make an offer. While the initial offer will take precedence if all the contingencies are satisfied, making an offer can put you at the head of the line if the original deal falls through.
A contingency clause should clearly outline the conditions, how the conditions are to be fulfilled, and which party is responsible for fulfilling them. The clause should also provide a timeframe for what happens if the condition is not met.
You can still make an offer on a home if it's listed as contingent or pending, but you should consider where the property is in the process to determine the likelihood of your offer being accepted.
Owners whose home is in contingent status can accept a backup offer, and that offer will have precedence if the initial deal does not go through, so if you like a contingent property, it makes sense for you to make an offer on the listing so that you are in position to buy if something goes wrong with that transaction.
