The first reason is real estate investors. They're always looking for new properties to buy, especially in competitive markets where housing is in short supply, like we have right now. They may use a variety of methods to find potential investment properties, including public records, direct mail, and cold calling.
Ing to Zillow, the real estate tracking company, almost 15% of potential buyers end up backing out of the deal after getting their inspection report of the home.
Ing to data compiled by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), it's estimated that about 5% of pending offers fall through. For perspective, NAR reports that about 4.71 million homes were sold in the U.S. in 2023. Based on NAR's estimate, that means roughly 247,500 home sales fell through in 2023.
A low offer may be upsetting to the sellers, but if you and your real estate agent present the offer along with an expression of your appreciation for the property, it's more likely to be accepted than a low offer accompanied by a half-complete contract or an insult about the property's condition.
A conditional offer lets you specify conditions that need to be met before the sale goes through, like getting a building inspection, LIM report, or finance approval. You need to meet those conditions within an agreed timeframe e.g. five working days.
There are four essential elements of forming a contract: offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations. Beyond this, the terms of the contract must also be unambiguous, and the parties must have the mental capacity to agree.
The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality.
Valid Offer: The offer must be clear and specific. Acceptance: The offeree must accept the offer without modifications. Adequate Consideration: There must be a fair exchange of value between the parties. Legality: The contract's purpose must be lawful.
The Requirements of an Offer The statement of offer must show intent—The statement must reasonably be interpreted to indicate an intention to enter into a binding agreement. The offer must be communicated to the other party—An agreement cannot exist unless the offer is communicated.
