FAQ
In real estate, “contingent” refers to a status in which a Massachusetts property is under contract for sale. Still, certain conditions or contingencies must be met before the sale is finalized. These conditions commonly include inspections, financing, appraisal, or selling another property.
We want to help you prepare for the worst-case scenario, which is why we created this straightforward guide to three types of contingencies: Design contingencies. Bidding contingencies. Construction contingencies.
Contingent homes are still waiting on certain pre-conditions to be met before the sale goes through, while pending homes have yet to finish processing the sale. If the home you want is contingent or pending, you may still be able to make an offer or view the property.
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.
Who signs the P&S first? The tradition and custom in Eastern Massachusetts is for the Buyer to sign it first. Legally speaking, this may not matter as it is not a valid contract until both parties sign.
In short yes, they can back out of a contract at anytime. However, depending on the reason or time, they could be in default of the contract and open themself up to legal damages.
If there is a problem meeting the conditions of the sale, such as the buyer's finance arrangements falling through or they are unhappy with the results of a building inspection and decide to withdraw from the sale, the buyer must let their lawyer or conveyancer know as soon as possible.
