What does contingent mean in real estate? Contingent means the seller has accepted an offer, but certain conditions need to be met before the sale closes. This means there's still a chance that the sale could fall through and the house goes back on the market, should those conditions go unmet.
So contingent sales are simply when you, the buyer make an offer on a property, subject to them selling their home. In the contingency document, there is a release clause, and a release clause simply gives the seller the opportunity to cancel a contingent buyer if they accept another offer.
Technically, yes — a seller can back out of a contingent offer. Before agreeing, they can choose to reject or counter the original offer with their own terms. Once the offer is accepted, if the contingencies aren't met, the seller can back out but there may be legal or financial implications involved.
Contingencies are conditions that must be met for the sale to proceed. These could include inspections, such as a home or termite inspection, financing, or selling another property. Removing contingencies ensures that these conditions have been satisfied or waived, taking an active role in the transaction.
Passive contingency removal means that when the deadline passes and the party in question has not cancelled the agreement, by default they have removed their contingency. That is why it is called “passive.” If you do nothing, you are deemed to have removed your contingency.
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.
Contingent reinforcement is based on specific behaviors, while noncontingent reinforcement is delivered on a set schedule, regardless of behavior. Imagine you're working with a learner who struggles with disruptive behaviors during class time.
