Best practices for drafting a contingent contract #1 Define the conditions clearly to activate the contract obligations. #2 Include detailed descriptions of all parties' obligations. #3 Keep the contract simple to avoid misunderstandings. #4 Regularly update your contracts to keep them relevant and enforceable.

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.

The contingency gives a buyer a contractual excuse to cancel the contract, during the contingency period, if the buyer is not satisfied with its condition, or any other matter affecting the property. The contingency stays in place until removed in writing by the buyer.

Some of the most common real estate contingencies include appraisal, mortgage, title and home inspection contingencies. Many home buyers also include a sale of prior home contingency, which allows them to withdraw an offer if they are unable to sell their current home within a specified timeframe.

Your REALTOR® should be able to help you decide which contingency waivers, if any, are right for you. Appraisal Contingency – Low Risk. Financing Contingency – High Risk. Home Inspection Contingency – Medium Risk. Home Sale Contingency – Low Risk. Title Search Contingency – High Risk.

A home inspection contingency is often the most common real estate contingency. The National Association of Realtors® estimates that about 80% of buyers include a home inspection contingency in their contract.
